Obverse description The obverse presents an intricate, multilayered composition set against a finely engraved geometric background of traditional Mongolian lattice-work (trellis) pattern occupying the left field, with the date 2023 rendered in large stylised numerals at lower left. An octagonal central cartouche, bordered by a beaded frame, bears the national arms of Mongolia above the Mongol Bank inscription in both Latin and Traditional Mongolian scripts, flanked by Traditional Mongolian script legends, with the denomination '1000 ТӨГРӨГ' inscribed below. The legend 'MONGOLIA 1/10 oz .9999 GOLD' appears beneath the cartouche. To the right, highly detailed relief engraving depicts the talons and lower body of a saker falcon perched on a rocky outcrop, its feathers rendered with exceptional naturalistic precision in keeping with the coin's wildlife theme.

Reverse description The reverse features an extraordinarily detailed close-up portrait of a saker falcon (Falco cherrug), rendered in high relief with exceptional engraving artistry. The bird's head dominates the left portion of the field, depicted in three-quarter view facing right, with sharply incised feather texturing conveying the species' characteristic plumage with remarkable naturalism. The piercing eyes, strongly hooked beak, and malar stripe are rendered with precision. To the right, the falcon's taloned foot grips a rocky surface, rendered in fine detail against a polished mirror field. The composition fills the entire coin face to the rim, with no legends or inscriptions, allowing the wildlife subject to command full visual impact.
