| Additional information |
Issued as part of Mongolia's long-running program of commemorative minors targeting the collector market, this piece appeared on the 50th anniversary of the Dallas assassination. Mongolia has been an unusually prolific issuer of foreign-subject gold miniatures since the early 2000s, exploiting its sovereign minting rights to produce pieces with no domestic circulation relevance whatsoever.
At 0.5 grams of .9999 fine gold, the intrinsic metal content was the primary sales hook.
