Chinggis Khan 820
01 Context
A ceremony for the 820th anniversary of the Great Mongol Empire
For the 820th anniversary of the founding of the Great Mongol Empire, the Ulaanbaatar Trade and Economic Representative Office in Taipei held a commemorative portrait ceremony at the National Palace Museum, Taipei — home of the sacred portrait of Chinggis Khan.
The brief: one identity that could live on a coin, a stage, a program card and a certificate — dignified, historically grounded, and instantly recognizable as Mongolian.
02 Process
From sacred portrait to an eight-coin collection
The system starts from an engraving-style seal: the portrait of Chinggis Khan ringed by traditional ornament. From it grew a collection of eight commemorative coins — the sacred portrait, the Three Manly Games of archery, wrestling and horse racing, the Nine White Banners, the Silver Tree of Karakorum, the Mongolian Queens, and the nomadic migration.
Each coin was illustrated flat, then rendered as a physical object for the collection box and its explanatory booklet. The same line language scaled up to the concert backdrop and down to A6 program cards and volunteer certificates — navy, gold and engraved blue lines throughout.
