| Reverse description | The reverse features a right-facing draped bust of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart occupying the upper half of the field, rendered in high relief with his characteristic powdered wig and formal 18th-century attire. To the right of the portrait, Mozart's facsimile signature appears in cursive script. In the lower half, a detailed architectural rendering of the Mongolian National Opera House is depicted in classical neoclassical style with a prominent colonnade. The dates 1756 and 2006, marking the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, are inscribed to the lower left. The legend 'Mongolian National Opera' appears in stylized script along the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia issued a substantial series of gold miniatures in the mid-2000s commemorating Western composers and cultural figures — an unusual program for a landlocked Central Asian state, driven largely by the European collector market rather than any domestic commemorative tradition. These were produced for export, not circulation.
At 1.24 g of .999 gold, the coin corresponds to the 1/25 oz format popularized by the Austrian Mint in the 1980s, a size that proved commercially effective for low-entry-price bullion collectibles.
