Another anonymous editor has mentioned: Article Dzoosotoyn Elisen Desert appears to refer to the same thing as this article. French Wiki says the two terms are equivalent. Not sure if there is a standard English name.
As of my basic understanding, "зоостой элсэн цөл" (zoostoi elsen tsöl) in modern Mongolian translates to "desert of sand with coins".
зоос (zoos) - coin/piece/money
зоостой (zoostoi) - with coin[s]
элс (els) - sand
элсэн (elsen) - [made] of sand
цөл (tsöl) - desert
Are there any historic mines in the region? The spelling difference to Dzoosotoyn Elisen may be attributed to sources transcribing from Mongolian script and/or a regional dialect.
