The 2006 issue commemorates the 800th anniversary of the founding of the Mongol Empire in 1206, the year Temüjin was proclaimed Genghis Khan at a kurultai on the banks of the Onon River. That assembly unified the fractious steppe confederacies under a single authority for the first time, producing what would become the largest contiguous land empire in history. Mongolia began issuing commemorative silver in earnest through the 1990s and 2000s, largely targeting the international collector market rather than domestic circulation — the tögrög's purchasing power made silver coins economically impractical for everyday use.
