| Obverse description | The obverse features a central recessed medallion bearing the Mongol Bank logo — a stylized lotus blossom surmounted by the soyombo national emblem — flanked on either side by inscriptions in Traditional Mongolian script. The denomination '1000 ТӨГРӨГ' is inscribed below the central emblem in bold Latin and Cyrillic characters, with the legend 'MONGOLIA 2 oz .999 SILVER' and the date '2022' appearing along the lower portion of the medallion. Framing the central medallion in high relief are the massively curled, deeply striated horns of an Argali ram rendered in antique finish, extending dramatically across the full width of the coin. The background field is intricately engraved with a repeating traditional Mongolian geometric ornamental pattern (the 'ulzii' or infinite knot motif), giving the coin a richly textured appearance. The entire composition is executed in black proof finish with selectively contrasting polished elements on the central medallion. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, close-up portrait of a male Argali (Ovis ammon), the world's largest wild sheep, rendered in extraordinary sculptural relief with antique black proof finish. The ram's massive, deeply ridged spiral horn dominates the right side of the field, coiling dramatically from crown to cheek, while its alert eye and finely textured facial fleece are rendered with remarkable naturalistic precision. A second Argali head appears in lower relief on the left, suggesting depth and the animal's imposing presence in its natural Mongolian highland habitat. Subtle mountain landscape elements are visible in the upper background, enhancing the scenic composition. A small traditional Mongolian ornamental motif is engraved at the lower center of the field. |
