The currency of Mongolia since 1925 has been the tögrög, which currently circulates mostly as banknotes due to the low value of earlier coins and the reluctance of the government to issue large denomination coins; however, the government has authorises many non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) coins to be issued for collector's purposes.
Collector coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes and are often not related to the country itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes, including the internationally popular one ounce of silver format.
This coin is part of the Woodland Spirits series which features animals in colour and high relief.
The Mint says about it: Protagonists of countless fairy tales, cartoons and children’s stories, fox and bunny are beloved characters throughout the world. Naturally, the latter thus represents the follow-up of the Mongolian issued Woodland Spirits debut featuring the fox in 2018.
Unlike the clever and cunning fox, the rabbit epitomises peacefulness and innocence. Resting among the series-standard bouquet of wildflowers, the second coin of Woodland Spirits is an impressive illustration of the lifelike, three-dimensional effect that can be achieved with smartminting technology. The refined digital colour applications make this coin an unparalleled entry level collectors item with premium specifications. |
