| Additional information |
Mongolia's lunar series of the late 1990s was produced for the international collector market, with mintages kept deliberately low to serve export demand rather than domestic circulation. These coins never passed through Mongolian trade in any practical sense — they were sold almost entirely through foreign distributors and bullion dealers operating in Europe and Asia.
KM#160 corresponds to the 1999 issue, the Year of the Rabbit under the 12-year Mongolian lunar calendar cycle aligned with Chinese tradition.
