1000 Tögrög Pterosaur Gold

Mongolia's bullion and collector coinage program has leaned heavily into paleontology since the country's Gobi Desert ranks among the most productive fossil sites on Earth — Mongolian deposits have yielded pterosaur, theropod, and protoceratopsian specimens that rewrote entire chapters of Mesozoic research. This fractional half-gram issue belongs to a broader series capitalizing on that scientific identity.

At 0.5 grams, these pieces were struck in large enough quantities to function as accessible entry-level gold, though KM#381 sees relatively thin documentation in major auction archives.
