| Obverse description | The obverse presents a whimsical, stylised mouse figure in right-facing profile, the coin itself struck in the full shaped outline of a seated rodent. At centre, an incuse circular inset bears the Mongolian state emblem (soyombo) flanked by Traditional Mongolian script, with the denomination '1000 ТӨГРӨГ' inscribed below and the legend 'MONGOLIA 1oz 999 SILVER' running along the lower arc. The mouse's body is adorned with delicately engraved floral motifs — small blossoms and budding flowers — scattered across the cheek and lower torso, evoking a decorative folk-art aesthetic. The ear is rendered with fine incised line detailing, and the date '2020' appears in the exergue at the base of the figure. The entire surface receives an antique finish, imparting a warm, aged patina to the sculptural relief. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Chinese lunar calendar series produced for the Mongolian market, this coin was released for the Year of the Mouse — the first sign in the twelve-year zodiac cycle, making 2020 a calendrically significant starting point. Mongolia has issued lunar series coinage for decades, typically through European minting contractors, targeting the international collector market rather than domestic circulation.
The "Witty" designation distinguishes this piece within a broader Mouse-year release program that included multiple variants at the same specification.
