Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan (c. 1162 – 18 August 1227), born Temüjin, was the founder and Great Khan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his demise.
  He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he started the Mongol invasions that resulted in the conquest of most of Eurasia. These included raids or invasions of the Qara Khitai, Caucasus, Khwarezmid Empire, Western Xia and Jin dynasties. These campaigns were often accompanied by wholesale massacres of the civilian populations – especially in the Khwarezmian and Xia controlled lands. By the end of his life, the Mongol Empire occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia and China.
  Before Genghis Khan died, he assigned Ögedei Khan as his successor and split his empire into khanates among his sons and grandsons. He died in 1227 after defeating the Western Xia. He was buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in Mongolia at an unknown location. His descendants extended the Mongol Empire across most of Eurasia by conquering or creating vassal states out of all of modern-day China, Korea, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and substantial portions of modern Eastern Europe, Russia, and Southwest Asia. Many of these invasions repeated the earlier large-scale slaughters of local populations. As a result, Genghis Khan and his empire have a fearsome reputation in local histories.
  Beyond his military accomplishments, Genghis Khan also advanced the Mongol Empire in other ways. He decreed the adoption of the Uyghur script as the Mongol Empire's writing system. He also practiced meritocracy and encouraged religious tolerance in the Mongol Empire while unifying the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. Present-day Mongolians regard him as the founding father of Mongolia.
  Although known for the brutality of his campaigns and considered by many to have been a genocidal ruler, Genghis Khan is also credited with bringing the Silk Road under one cohesive political environment. This brought communication and trade from Northeast Asia into Muslim Southwest Asia and Christian Europe, thus expanding the horizons of all three cultural areas.

Figure skating was the first Olympic sport that was included in the Olympics in 1908. The four Olympic disciplines in figure skating are men’s singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. In figure skating many athletes perform jumps, spins, and lifts in synchronization to music while being scored by judges. While people have been ice skating for centuries, figure skating in its current form originated in the mid-19th century. 'A Treatise on Skating' (1772) by Englishman Robert Jones, is the first known account of figure skating. Competitions were then held in the 'English style' of skating, which was stiff and formal, and bears little resemblance to modern figure skating. American skater Jackson Haines, considered the 'father of modern figure skating', and introduced a new style of skating in the mid-1860s. This style, which incorporated free and expressive techniques, became known as the 'international style.' Although popular in Europe, Haines' style of skating was not widely adopted in the United States until long after his death.

  There are over 3 million horses in Mongolia and therefore about the same amount as the entire human population. Nowhere in the world is the ratio of horses to people as high as in Mongolia.
  Mongolian horses are small and sturdy measuring 1.25 to 1.45 metres. The Mongolian horse is kept outdoors throughout the year and therefore has to bear temperatures up to 30°C in summer and -40°C in winter.
  The origins of the Mongolian horse lie way back. Central Asian nomadic people already used riding horses 3000 years ago. Studies show that the Mongolian horse has the greatest genetic diversity worldwide from which many of today’s horse breeds originate.
  The Mongolian national drink Airag is gained from the mare’s milk. It tastes sour and tingling at the same time and is an everyday form of nourishment among Asian steppe people.

Wild horse       Falco Cherrug

Wild horse
The wild horse (Equus ferus) is a species of the genus Equus, which includes as subspecies the modern domesticated horse (Equus ferus caballus) as well as the undomesticated tarpan (Equus ferus ferus), now extinct, and the endangered Przewalski's horse (Equus ferus przewalskii). Przewalski's horse was saved from the brink of extinction and reintroduced successfully to the wild. The tarpan became extinct in the 19th century, though it was a possible ancestor of the domestic horse, and roamed the steppes of Eurasia at the time of domestication. However, other subspecies of Equus ferus may have existed and could have been the stock from which domesticated horses are descended. Since the extinction of the tarpan, attempts have been made to reconstruct its phenotype, resulting in horse breeds such as the Konik and Heck horse. However, the genetic makeup and foundation bloodstock of those breeds is substantially derived from domesticated horses, so these breeds possess domesticated traits.
  The term "wild horse" is also used colloquially to refer to free-roaming herds of feral horses such as the mustang in the United States, the brumby in Australia, and many others. These feral horses are untamed members of the domestic horse subspecies (Equus ferus caballus), and should not be confused with the two truly "wild" horse subspecies extant into modern times.

The fan community of the Campbell’s dwarf hamster is ever growing. More and more people not only admire the animal in the wild but rejoice in its presence at home. The latest issue in the award-winning Wildlife Protection series, created for Mongolia by Coin Invest Trust, is dedicated to this popular pet.

At dusk, Campbell’s hamsters leave their burrows to forage for seeds in the Mongolian steppe. However, the cute rodents are also incredibly popular children’s pets around the world.
The small hamster can reach a size of up to 10cm and is native to the steppes and
semideserts of Mongolia as well as North-East China and Siberia. With their thick, beige-brown fur, they are perfectly adapted to the harsh climatic conditions. Pet shops offer hamsters in a range of selectively bred fur colours, including shades of blue and violet. The fluffy coat of the Campbell’s dwarf hamster develops over several weeks as the young are born blind and hairless. For the first three weeks of their life, they are fed and cared for by their parents in the central nest chamber of their burrow, a horizontal tunnel with up to six exits.
The life expectancy of the Campbell’s dwarf hamster is only roughly two years. They feed on grasses, seeds, and small insects, while it in turn falls prey to owls, birds of prey, Manul cats and steppe foxes. In the wild, the population of the hamster, which was first scientifically documented in 1902, can reach high densities and population numbers are stable. Just like its predecessor in the Wildlife Protection series, Coin Invest Trust’s rendition of the Campbell’s dwarf hamster is an impressively authentic version of the animal that is so typical of Mongolia. The coin is released as the sixth issue in the popular series, whose first issue won the coveted “Coin of the Year” award in 2009. Likewise, the “Ural Owl” Coin was voted “Most Popular Coin” in said competition in 2013.

Mongolia 500 Togrog Silver Coin 2015 Evolution of Life Ammonite

Mongolia 500 Togrog Silver Coin 2015 Evolution of Life Ammonite

This beautiful 1 oz Silver 999 coin is the first issue in the amazing "Evolution of Life" series. The evolution of life is celebrated with a new series featuring an Ammonite fossil in sensational high-relief. Ammonites superficially resemble snails and nautilus, the marine creatures were however more closely related to octopus and squid.


The first Mongolian coin in this exciting new series features ammonite fossils on its reverse, including a large detailed, red-gold gilded one in high relief within a natural looking setting. This creates a breath-taking contrast between the gilded fossil and its background – something that adds to the attractiveness of this low mintage coin.

The obverse features various inscriptions, including, but not limited to: The country of issue “Mongolia” and “1oz .999 SILVER.”

Ammonites, named after the Egyptian god Ammon, are extinct today. The last ones were wiped out, along with dinosaurs, during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event about 66 million years ago. In essence, these prehistoric creatures were squid like carnivores that lived inside coil-shaped shells in schools. Their diet consisted of small fish, shellfish and barnacles, which they entrapped with their tentacles and killed with their sharp, parrot like beaks. It is not difficult to see that they were related to Octopus and Squid (see below).

They ranged in size from small ammonites to ones in excess of 3 feet in diameter. This while females were up to 4 times larger than males. Interestingly enough, scientists use ammonite fossils of different shapes and sizes to determine the age of other fossils.

World Class Partnership – CIT, the Mayer Mint and FCC

The Coin Invest Trust (CIT), which developed this low mintage 2015 Ammonite Silver Coin, brings close to 45 years’ experience to the table. CIT is well-known in the market place for developing multiple award winning coins of exceptional quality. I expect it to be no different in terms of the 2015 Mongolia 1 oz. Silver Antique Finish 500 Togrog Evolution of Life – Ammonite coin.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. Born in Salzburg, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty.
  At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons.
  He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence on subsequent Western art music is profound; Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years".

National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet of Mongolia
The National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet of Mongolia (colloquially called Ulaanbaatar Opera House) opened on 15 May 1963 and made its opening ceremony on 18 May 1963 with Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin.
  The repertoire includes classical and national ballet (Swan Lake, The Nutcracker) and opera (Madama Butterfly, La bohème).
  The beginnings of a contemporary professional theatre in Mongolia were laid down with the establishment of a National Central Theatre in 1931, which was an extension of the Folk Stadium which was inaugurated in 1927.
