The Saker falcon is Mongolia’s national bird. All citizens of the country are
encouraged to consider it a symbol of Mongolian history, culture, and above all, as
the flagship species for nature conservation because today, the Saker falcon is one
of the most endangered birds of prey worldwide. A Situation which will hopefully
change soon!
The coin shows the amazing hunter of the skies in majestic flight. In the background
the attentive observer can recognise the over 4000 meter high summits of the
Mongolian Tavan Bogd massif.
