500 Tögrög Chinggis Khaan

Chinggis Khaan remains a politically charged figure in modern Mongolia — state-sanctioned reverence for him intensified sharply after 1990, when the end of Soviet-imposed restrictions allowed public rehabilitation of a ruler the USSR had effectively banned from official commemoration. Mongolbank has issued coins in his name repeatedly since the early 1990s, making this a well-established series rather than a novel tribute.

The KM#478 assignment suggests catalog placement within an already dense sequence of Mongolian commemoratives. At .9999 fine, the silver specification exceeds the more common .999 standard — a detail worth noting for type collectors tracking compositional distinctions across the series.
