| Additional information |
Mongolia's lunar series coins of the early 1990s were struck during a period of acute political transition — the Mongolian People's Republic formally dissolved in 1992, making this one of the final issues to carry that state name before the country reverted to simply "Mongolia." The timing means pieces from this series straddle two governments, with some lunar issues appearing under the new republic while this one bears the name of the outgoing communist state.
