| Additional information |
Mongolia's platinum dragon coin was issued to mark the Mongolian Year of the Dragon in 2000, part of a broader push by the Bank of Mongolia during the late 1990s and early 2000s to develop a collectibles program aimed at foreign numismatic markets — a revenue strategy common among smaller central banks with limited hard currency reserves. At 7.776 grams of .999 platinum, the weight is precisely one quarter troy ounce.
