| Additional information |
Mongolia's first gold bullion coinage was authorized in 1992, the year after the country formally abandoned its Soviet-era constitution and adopted multiparty democracy. The timing was deliberate — issuing hard currency in precious metal was a concrete signal to international markets that the new republic intended to function within a conventional monetary framework. The Bank of Mongolia contracted production abroad; domestic minting infrastructure was entirely inadequate for .999 fine coin production at this weight.
KM#82 is frequently confused with later Chinggis Khan gold issues from the same series, which share the subject but differ in specification and KM numbering.
