Silver Ounce 2020 Wild Mongolia - Majestic Eagle, Coin from Mongolia - detailed information

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.

The Majestic Eagle is the first design in the Wild Mongolia collection by CIT.

The mint says about it:
The cornerstone of CIT’s philosophy is to always be the industry leader in innovative products. We have been recognised for that with international coin awards for decades now. For this reason, we are incredibly proud to release a stunning piece that breaks many barriers on what was previously considered impossible.

Introducing the Majestic Eagle, featuring brand new, never before seen enhanced smartminting© technology! This piece pushes the boundaries of what is possible as now BOTH sides feature incredibly high relief in PROOF finish! High relief that has been pushed to levels 100% higher than what was previously possible! Check out the contrast between the relief of the Eagle’s claws and the incuse depths its marks leave in the surface of the fields! The claw literally looks like it is ripping through the metal and coming right out at you! Also notice how the high relief of the Eagle’s head extends to the edges of the coin instead of just the center.

CIT is also proud to announce that this new technology will be deployed on not only silver coins, but gold and copper as well! The Eagle has always symbolized strength, leadership, and vision. We believe that it is the perfect symbol to be used on this release that sets the bar for everyone else to chase!
