| Additional information |
Issued in 1996 to mark the 830th anniversary of Chinggis Khan's birth, this was among the first high-denomination gold issues the Bank of Mongolia produced targeting the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. The .9999 fineness — finer than the traditional .900 gold standard common in earlier commemorative coinage — reflects the late-1990s trend among smaller sovereign mints competing for bullion-collector crossover buyers.
Mongolia's commemorative program expanded aggressively through the 1990s under agreements with foreign minting houses, and several issues from this period were struck outside Ulaanbaatar entirely.
