Mongolia's 1998 lunar series issues were produced for the collector market rather than domestic circulation, part of a broader wave of commemorative coinage that smaller nations licensed through foreign mints during the 1990s to generate hard currency revenue. The Tiger year fell in 1998 by the sexagenary cycle used across East Asian calendrical tradition — a cycle Mongolia shares through its deep historical ties to Chinese and Central Asian astronomical practice, distinct from but parallel to the Tibetan system it also absorbed.
