| Additional information |
The Moscow–Ulaanbaatar–Beijing rail corridor, running through Mongolia as part of the Trans-Mongolian Railway, was completed in 1956 after Soviet and Chinese engineers jointly extended the line south from Ulaanbaatar to the Chinese border at Erenhot. For decades it was the primary overland route connecting the Soviet bloc with China, carrying both freight and the famous Beijing Express passenger service. Mongolia issued several commemorative pieces through the 1990s tied to transport and infrastructure themes, largely as foreign-currency earners rather than for domestic circulation.
The KM#101.2 designation distinguishes this from a related variant in the series.
