The Legendary Warriors: Genghis Khan Silver Round is the 5th in the highly popular Legendary Warriors Series by SilverTowne Mint, which now features 14 or more historical commanders and warriors from cultures and eras throughout history. This round is made of .999 fine silver, and commemorates Genghis Khan, the first “Great Khan” and founder of the Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in human history.
Featuring an investment silver .900 content and a beautifully detailed design of Genghis Khan mounted on his horse with a falcon in his hand set against a windy scene of a steppe plateau in Central Asia, this round was produced by SilverTowne Mint, America's premier private mint dedicated to producing quality silver bullion since 1973.
Temüjin was born in 1162 in the Khentii Mountains in what would become Mongolia. He lived a life of tribulations and strife and gradually worked his way up to bring together the warring nomadic tribes of the Mongolian steppe, something that no one had ever done before him, through a series of strategic alliances, military prowess and ruthless determination. An assembly of Mongol chieftains declared him Genghis Khan, meaning ‘universal ruler' or ‘oceanic ruler' in 1206.
From this common base the Genghis Khan waged a series of conquests which would change the face of Eurasia. He was first against the Jin dynasty of northern China, seizing the capital near modern-day Beijing in 1215 – a resounding victory for a small Mongolian kingdom, compared to the much larger and powerful empire. Later he turned West and defeated the powerful Khwarizm Empire of Afghanistan/Iran/Central Asia in the early 1220s. In 1223, he sent his general Subutai west, and launched Mongol raids into the Caucasus and the borders of Eastern Europe which his successors would pursue for years.
The Mongols had a number of important innovations that made their military success possible: highly mobile disciplined cavalry, merit-based promotion based on skill and loyalty rather than noble birth, sophisticated intelligence networks and calculated psychological warfare to achieve the rapid capitulation of besieged cities. Moreover, Genghis Khan was a great supporter of religious tolerance and had established laws that gave the conquered peoples a lot of autonomy in governing themselves, a method of empire-building which was quite distinct from that of his contemporaries.
History itself is divided on the reasons behind Genghis Khan's death on August 18, 1227, while he was campaigning against the Western Xia kingdom in modern-day China. At the time of his death, the Mongol Empire extended from northern China to Central Asia and the borders of Eastern Europe. The empire would not come to an end with his death, as it continued to expand for decades after his time and eventually covered an area of about double that of the Roman Empire and Islamic Caliphate at their respective peaks; by most accounts, the largest contiguous land empire ever created.
The Legendary Warriors Series from SilverTowne Mint celebrates the great military commanders and warriors in history, from different cultures and eras. The series was originally planned as a 10-coin collection, but has shot way past that and now has at least 14 confirmed releases. This Genghis Khan round is No. 5 in the series:
