| Additional information |
Mongolia's lunar series issues from this period were produced in limited quantities through arrangements with foreign mints — the Bank of Mongolia had no domestic gold striking capability at the time. The Monkey year falls in a twelve-year cycle, making 2004 the only opportunity to produce this specific pairing of denomination and zodiac subject for over a decade.
