| Aanvullende informatie |
Mongolia's lunar series coins were produced under contract by foreign mints — this piece almost certainly struck by the Bald Eagle Mint or a comparable European facility, as the Bank of Mongolia has never operated production infrastructure capable of colorized silver issues. The Year of the Rat opens the twelve-year lunar cycle, making 2008 issues the anchor of any complete set.
The rat holds an ambivalent place in Mongolian folk tradition compared to its more celebrated status in Chinese astrology, yet demand from the broader East Asian collector market drove most of these issues out of Mongolia almost immediately upon release.
