| Reverse description | The reverse features a centrally placed reproduction of a Soviet-era postage stamp (USSR, 4k+2k, ПОЧТА СССР) commemorating the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, depicting two hands clasping an Olympic torch with flame, flanked by the emblems of the Montreal 1976 and Moscow 1980 Olympic Games and a decorative ribbon below inscribed 'МОСКВА' (Moscow). A circular legend surrounds the central motif reading '• XXVI SUMMER GAMES •' along the upper arc and '• 100 YEARS FROM GREECE TO ATLANTA •' along the lower arc, all in Latin characters. The design commemorates the centennial of the modern Olympic Games and the XXVI Olympiad held in Atlanta in 1996. |

Mongolia issued this piece in 2002, six years after the Atlanta Games closed — an unusually long lag for Olympic commemoratives, which typically appear in the run-up to or immediately following the event. Whether this reflects a delayed licensing arrangement with the IOC or simply a domestic production backlog is not documented in the Bank of Mongolia's public records.
