| Additional information |
Part of Mongolia's first modern commemorative series, issued under the Mongolian People's Republic in cooperation with the British Royal Mint, which struck several of these pieces on contract. The argali — the world's largest wild sheep, native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia — was chosen alongside other endemic fauna as the subject matter, reflecting a Soviet-era pattern of using wildlife themes to generate hard currency through foreign coin collectors rather than domestic circulation.
KM#36 carries relatively low mintage figures, though precise numbers are difficult to confirm across sources.
