| Reverse description | The reverse displays the sculptural right-facing profile of the ox in its entirety, rendered in three-dimensional relief with smooth, rounded contours and an antique silver finish. The body is decorated with bold, deeply engraved traditional Mongolian ornamental motifs concentrated across the upper back and shoulder area, incorporating curvilinear and floral elements with strong contrasting recessed darkening. A small floral rosette detail is visible near the left ear of the animal, and fine engraved line details suggest musculature and form across the legs and torso. The overall design is a fully sculptural numismatic art piece, with the ox standing in profile on four stylized legs. |

Part of Mongolia's ongoing lunar series, this issue corresponds to the Ox year in the twelve-year cycle — 2021 falling on the Year of the Metal Ox, which in traditional Mongolian and broader East Asian reckoning carries associations with stubbornness and endurance that made "Mighty" a commercially obvious adjective. The Bank of Mongolia has leaned heavily into the international bullion and collector market since the early 2000s, issuing themed silver rounds under nominal tögrög denominations that never meaningfully circulate.
KM#422 is one of several catalogue entries from this mint year; distinguishing between close variants sometimes requires checking the edge inscription.
