| Additional information |
Mongolia issued this coin as part of a wave of foreign-market commemoratives it began producing in the early 1990s following the collapse of Soviet-backed rule and the liberalization of its economy — the government needed hard currency, and selling silver coins to overseas collectors was a reliable way to get it. The subject, the 1993 wedding of Crown Prince Naruhito and Masako Owada, was a major international media event and a natural hook for the collector market.
Naruhito ascended to the Chrysanthemum Throne in 2019 following Emperor Akihito's abdication — the first such abdication in over two centuries.
