This specimen was lot 33490 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, May 2024), where it sold for $840. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Mongolia|MONGOLIA]]. 2500 Togrog, 2000. Lunar Series, Year of the Dragon. NGC PROOF-69 Ultra Cameo. A SCARCE type that is not often encountered, this lunar issue presents a popular mythological animal type, the dragon." The various spellings of the Mongolian currency can cause confusion. Wikipedia comments, "The tögrög or tugrik (Mongolian Cyrillic: төгрөг, Mongolian script: ᠲᠥᠭᠦᠷᠢᠭ, transcription: tögürig; sign: ₮; code: MNT) is the official currency of Mongolia. It was historically subdivided into 100 möngö (мөнгө / ᠮᠥᠩᠭᠦ). " This appears to be a series, as coinage for the [[Mongolia 2001 2500 tugrik|year of the snake]] was struck in 2001. Other denomination were made in silver.
