An exhibition of “Mongolian Coins and Banknotes” is opening at the Mongolian State History Museum at the State Palace in Ulaanbaatar, for the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Bank of Mongolia and the banking system in Mongolia.
The curator of the exhibition is the Bank of Mongolia and the Mongolian Association of Numismatics.
At the exhibition, works by “Tort Eus Khaadin San” (Төрт Ёс Хаадын Сан), images of the Great Khans of the Mongol Empire, who were descendants of Chinggis Khaan`s Golden Family, will be displayed for the first time.
Golden, silver and copper coins from the Mongol Empire XIII-XIV centuries are considered to be unique subject of research because of their exclusive designs, popularity, metal, weight, size and engravings in International Numismatic Studies.
Recently there are more and more collectors of ancient Mongol Empire coins. As coins were engraved with the names and honors of its rulers, city, location and dates, coins can tell us a lot about history.
Each coin from the ancient Mongol Empire is a most precious source of historical research about Mongolia in XIII-XIV century.
