| Additional information |
Issued to mark the Year of the Rabbit in the Mongolian lunar calendar cycle, this is among the heaviest gold issues Mongolia produced in the late 1990s — a period when the Bank of Mongolia was aggressively entering the international bullion and numismatic markets to generate hard currency. At 155.52 grams, it corresponds to the five-troy-ounce standard favored by several Asian mints for prestige lunar series during that decade.
