Mongolia's lunar series of the 1990s was issued primarily for the collector export market, with distribution handled through foreign coin dealers rather than domestic circulation channels. The Year of the Pig falls at the tail end of a difficult transitional period — Mongolia had only formally abandoned its Soviet-era planned economy in 1990, and hard currency from numismatic exports was not an insignificant revenue stream for the young democratic government.
