Interesting fact
The 500 Tögrög (Year of the Dragon) 2000 coin from Mongolia is a unique and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare depiction of a dragon on its obverse side, which is not commonly seen on Mongolian currency. The dragon is shown in a dynamic pose, with its wings spread wide and its claws outstretched, symbolizing power and strength. This design was specifically created to commemorate the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese lunar calendar, which is believed to bring good luck and prosperity. The coin's gold content and limited mintage only add to its appeal, making it a highly sought-after collectible among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
