This coin is part of the "Mongolian Nature" collection, characteristic with the fact that the depictions are not in relief but are silhouettes cut away.
Th Mint says about it: Mongolian Nature launched in 2013 with the hugely successful Crying Wolf coin. The gilded silver coin did away with relief and portrayed a precision-cut wolf howling in front of a full moon. Subsequent issues stayed true to the series’ initial design concept and have portrayed charismatic Mongolian animals in the unprecedented, minimalist silhouette fashion that is immediately recognisable and has no equal in the world of modern numismatics.
New issues of "Mongolian Nature" were launched on an annual basis at the World Money Fair in Berlin. The final coin concluding the series was revealed in February of 2017 and shows the majestic silhouette of a Roaring Deer."
Roaring Deer – CIT Coin Invest AG The Mint says about this coin:
The Roaring Deer concludes the truly innovative, outstanding and award-winning Mongolian Nature series in high fashion with a stag roaring in the moonlight. The series started off in 2013 with the much loved Crying Wolf which was subsequently and deservingly awarded Most Innovative Coin by Krause’s World Coin News Awards. On an annual basis, the series portrayed five animals typical of Mongolia in a beautiful cut-out silhouette that, while simple in structure, still managed to tell a compelling story – a wolf howling in front of the full moon, a prancing horse or a falcon stooping over the Mongolian hillside. Sometimes a great idea, simple as it may be, is all that is needed to create an outstanding product and a wonderful five coin collection that has no equal and would enrich anyone’s collection. While the Mongolian Nature set is complete with the fifth and last coin, fans of the collection are advised to keep an eye on future CIT releases … more CIT Item ID: 28022 Country: Mongolia Date of issue: 2017 Denomination: 500 Togrog Material: Silver .925 Quality: BU Mintage: 2500 |
