Mongolia reintroduced the lunar calendar horse year commemorative series in the early 2000s as part of a broader push into the collector bullion market, timed precisely to the 2002 Lunar New Year cycle. The rectangular format — unusual for a sovereign issue of this weight class — was a deliberate production choice to maximize relief depth on the central design field, a technique Mongolian State Mint adopted from earlier Kazakh and Chinese rectangular bullion issues.
At 155.5 grams, this is a five-troy-ounce piece, a denomination tier that saw relatively limited mintage runs from the Bank of Mongolia during this period.
