Additional information

Mongolia's commemorative program for the Athens 2004 Olympics was issued a year after the Games concluded — a common pattern for smaller central banks working through licensed distributors who acquire post-event minting rights. The coins were produced for the collector market rather than any domestic circulation, part of a broader wave of themed silver issues that flooded the numismatic market throughout the mid-2000s from Pacific and Central Asian issuing authorities.

Mongolia sent four athletes to Athens, none of whom medaled in table tennis — the sport had no particular national significance at the time of issue.
