| Additional information |
Part of a long-running Mongolian lunar series aimed squarely at the international bullion and collector market, this piece contains approximately 1/40 troy ounce of fine gold — a fractional denomination with no practical domestic circulation use. The Bank of Mongolia issued numerous such coins through the early 2000s, many struck by foreign mints under contract rather than at any facility within Mongolia itself.
