This coin is part of the Mongolian Wildlife Protection series. This immensely popular series started in 2007 with the then revolutionary and innovative Gulo Gulo coin. Three years later, CIT presented the successor Ural Owl and subsequent issues have been launched annually ever since. The frontal portrait in an antique finish relief and the piercing Swarovski crystal eyes have become the trademark of the collection.
Sable – CIT Coin Invest AG The Mint says about this coin:
Back to the roots – with its eight iteration, the immensely popular and often imitated Mongolian Wildlife Protection series comes full circle and back to the Mustelidae – the weasel family that started it all in 2007 with its largest member the Wolverine or Gulo gulo. Ten years and multiple awards later, an adorable Sable, Martes zibellina, is ready to pounce on the viewer. Large sapphire blue SWAROVSKI® crystals accentuate the captivating eyes and the striking smartminting© high relief makes each strand of fur come to life. As usual, the silver coin has a small gold counterpart that presents the Sable in wider habitat setting. more CIT Item ID: 28015 Country: Mongolia Date of issue: 2017 Denomination: 500 Togrog Material: Silver .999 Quality: Antique finish Mintage: 2500 Technique: smartminting® |
