| Additional information |
Mongolia's commemorative silver program expanded rapidly in the early 2000s as the Mongol Bank pursued foreign collector markets to generate hard currency — a pragmatic response to the severe economic contraction that followed the collapse of Soviet subsidies in 1991. These issues were largely produced for export, with minimal domestic circulation.
KM# 201 belongs to a run of Buddhist-themed pieces reflecting Mongolia's religious rehabilitation after seven decades of Soviet-imposed atheism, during which hundreds of monasteries were destroyed and thousands of monks executed in the 1937–1938 purges.
