Interesting fact
The 500 Tögrög (Year of the Horse) 2002 coin from Mongolia is unique in that it features a stunning horse design on its reverse side, which is not commonly seen on coins. The horse is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its mane and tail flowing in the wind, giving the impression of movement and freedom. This design is particularly interesting because it represents the symbolism of the horse in Mongolian culture, where horses have long been considered sacred animals and a symbol of strength, courage, and freedom. Additionally, the coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
