| Additional information |
Part of a long-running Mongolian lunar series targeting the collector market, this piece was issued the same year Mongolia was navigating the aftermath of a severe dzud — the catastrophic winter-summer weather cycle that had devastated livestock herds and roughly a third of the country's rural population between 1999 and 2002. The Bank of Mongolia leaned heavily into precious metal commemorative programs during this period, in part to generate hard currency revenue through international coin dealers rather than domestic circulation.
