| Additional information |
Mongolia's Year of the Dragon issue was part of a broader push by the Bank of Mongolia in the late 1990s and early 2000s to produce themed bullion and commemorative pieces aimed squarely at the international collector market, particularly across East and Southeast Asia where lunar calendar issues commanded reliable premiums. Mintages on these small-format gold pieces were tightly controlled, and distribution leaned heavily on overseas dealers rather than domestic circulation.
The 1.2241 gram specification corresponds to 1/25 troy ounce — a deliberately accessible entry point for gold accumulation.
