Obverse description Central field features the state emblem of Mongolia — the soyombo symbol surmounting a scroll — enclosed within a circular cartouche. The cursive legend 'Монгол Банк' (Bank of Mongolia) arcs across the upper portion of the cartouche, flanked on either side by vertical Mongolian script. A wreath of laurel branches adorns the lower interior of the emblem. Below the cartouche, the denomination '1000 TOGROG' is rendered in large bold numerals with the unit inscription beneath, and the date '2003' appears at the bottom of the coin in the lower field.

The arcing legend 'HISTORY OF ASIA' runs along the upper periphery in bold Latin capitals. The name 'HILLARY' is inscribed in the mid-field to the right of the portrait, identifying the subject.
