| Additional information |
Mongolia's first gold bullion coinage emerged in 1992, the year after the country adopted its new democratic constitution — a deliberate signal of financial confidence from a nation that had only recently shed Soviet economic control. The Bank of Mongolia contracted the issue to establish hard-currency reserves and attract foreign collector markets simultaneously.
At exactly one-half troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, the specification mirrors the fractional bullion weights popularized by the Austrian Mint's Philharmoniker series, launched just two years prior.
