| 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. |

| Additional information |
The argali (Ovis ammon) holds protected status in Mongolia under national law, yet remains under sustained hunting pressure across its Central Asian range — legal trophy hunting permits have been issued in Mongolia for decades, generating conservation revenue that is itself contested. This coin was struck by a European contract mint, as Mongol Bank has long relied on foreign production for its collector series; Mongolia operates no facility capable of producing fine silver commemoratives domestically.
