| Obverse description | At center, the national emblem of Mongolia — depicting the soyombo symbol surmounting a horseman within a circular wreath — rendered in high relief against a mirrored field. The denomination '10000' appears in large numerals in the lower field, flanked on the right by the denomination in traditional Mongolian script. The legend 'MONGOLIA' arcs along the upper rim in Latin characters, with the country name also inscribed vertically in traditional Mongolian script to the right of the central emblem. |

| Additional information |
Issued to coincide with Mongolia's participation in the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics, this piece was produced under the Bank of Mongolia's expanding commemorative program of the mid-1990s — a period when the newly post-Soviet state was aggressively entering international numismatic markets to generate hard currency. Mongolia had first competed at the Summer Olympics in 1964 in Tokyo, and by the 1990s its wrestlers and judoka had accumulated a respectable Olympic record for a nation of under two million people.
The .900 fine specification at 31.1 grams places this squarely in the one-troy-ounce gold commemorative category that dominated the collector market that decade.
