The italic legend cygnus olor is inscribed in the lower left field, and the date 2006 appears in the exergue. The arc legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE curves along the upper rim. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's commemorative program in the mid-2000s leaned heavily on wildlife subjects to appeal to thematic collectors, and this piece was struck by a European contract mint rather than domestically — Mongolia has never operated a functioning circulation mint of its own. The gold plating on copper-nickel was a cost-reduction approach that allowed the Bank of Mongolia to issue nominally gold-toned collectibles at price points accessible to the international novelty market without the overhead of a true precious-metal issue.
