| Reverse description | Dramatic ultra-high-relief close-up portrait of a bison (Bison bonasus or American bison) facing the viewer in three-quarter view, filling virtually the entire coin field. The head is rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail, showing the thick woolly mane, broad muzzle, and large curved horns rising prominently above the head. In the right mid-ground, a secondary vignette depicts additional bison in a rugged mountainous landscape, providing depth and context to the composition. The background field transitions from a smooth sky area to textured rocky terrain, enhancing the three-dimensional sculptural quality of the design. No legends appear on the reverse; the artistic focus is entirely on the wildlife subject. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's wild bison population was effectively extinct on its territory by the twentieth century, making this an aspirational rather than documentary subject. The 62.2g format places it squarely in the two-troy-ounce bullion tier that Mongol Bank has been expanding aggressively since the early 2020s, competing directly with established sovereign programs from Perth and the Royal Canadian Mint for the same collector-investor crossover market.
