| Additional information |
Mongolia's lunar gold series of the 1990s was produced in extremely limited quantities for the international collector market, with distribution handled largely through European numismatic dealers rather than domestic channels. The Bank of Mongolia had minimal infrastructure for direct collector sales at the time.
KM#76 is among the scarcer issues in the run, with the Dog year falling early in the series before production quantities were adjusted upward for later animals.
