| Additional information |
Mongolia's lunar series entries from the early 2000s were struck by foreign minting contractors — the Bank of Mongolia had no domestic facility capable of producing collector-grade silver at this weight. The 155.50g specification places this firmly in the 5 oz bullion-format collector category, a format that gained significant traction in Asian markets during the late 1990s as regional demand for lunar-themed issues expanded well beyond Chinese mint offerings.
The Year of the Goat recurs every twelve years; the 2003 issue corresponds to the Wood Goat year in the full sexagenary cycle.
