| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of a Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) perched on a bare branch, facing forward with prominent ear tufts and large expressive eyes rendered with great naturalistic precision. The bird's intricately engraved plumage fills the central field against a mirror-polished background. The arched legend 'ENDANGERED WILDLIFE' runs along the upper periphery in bold raised Latin lettering. The scientific name 'bubo bubo' appears in lowercase italic-style lettering to the right of the owl's head, and the date '2005' is positioned in the lower exergue. |

Part of a wildlife series issued by the Bank of Mongolia in the mid-2000s, this piece was produced during a period when small sovereign mints and issuing authorities across Asia were aggressively entering the commemorative collector market through third-party minting arrangements — most commonly with the Kremnica Mint in Slovakia or the Pobjoy Mint in the UK. The Eurasian eagle-owl, Bubo bubo, ranges across Mongolia's steppe and mountain zones, but the species connection to the issuing country is genuine rather than manufactured.
Gold-plated copper-nickel was the standard material choice for lower-tier commemoratives targeting budget collectors, keeping retail prices accessible while maintaining the visual appeal of a gold coin.
