500 Tögrög Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mongolia's commemorative silver program in the mid-2000s contracted several European mints to produce collector issues on cultural figures entirely unconnected to Mongolian history — Mozart being among the most commercially safe choices in the bicentennial year of 2006, which marked 250 years since his birth. Dozens of sovereign mints worldwide issued Mozart coins that year, making this piece one entry in a crowded international field rather than a singular numismatic statement.
