| Additional information |
The Year of the Ox coin is part of Mongolia's lunar series issued through the late 1990s, a period when the country was still navigating the economic wreckage of post-Soviet transition. At 155.5 grams of .9999 gold, this is a five-troy-ounce piece — a denomination aimed squarely at the international bullion and collector export market, generating hard currency Mongolia badly needed at the time.
