Featured on the "Mongolian Falcon" commemorative coin, this miraculous bird of prey, with its sharp claws and powerful, hook-shaped beak, has been used in falconry for thousands of years. Especially the nomadic tribes of the Steppe have played an important role in preserving and passing on this wonderful tradition. The coin shows two views of this majestic bird. On the one hand, the almost adorable face and on the other, the robber with his razor-sharp claws.

Both sides of the commemorative coin are convinced by incredible details and a very realistic representation due to the sophisticated Ultra High Relief smartminting® technology on both sides.
