| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin commemorates the relationship between Khubilai Khan and Marco Polo, whose account in *Il Milione* — dictated while Polo was imprisoned in Genoa after 1298 — became medieval Europe's primary source of knowledge about the Mongol court. Polo served Khubilai in an administrative capacity for roughly seventeen years, a claim historians have debated for over a century given the absence of his name in Chinese imperial records.
Mongolia issued a substantial commemorative program in the early 2000s drawing on Mongol imperial history, this piece among them.
