| Reverse description | A highly detailed, ultra-high-relief portrait of a Mongolian wolverine (Gulo gulo) dominates the entire reverse field, rendered in an antique finish with exceptional sculptural depth. The animal's dense, textured fur is depicted with remarkable naturalistic precision, radiating outward from the face in concentric layers. The eyes of the wolverine are inset with sparkling crystal or Swarovski elements, adding a distinctive three-dimensional accent. The legend "WILDLIFE PROTECTION - GULO GULO" is inscribed in Latin characters along the upper periphery, with the date "2020" positioned in the lower exergue. A small edition marking appears at the lower right of the field. |

| Additional information |
The wolverine — Gulo gulo — survives in Mongolia's Khangai and Khentii mountain ranges in genuinely small numbers, enough that population data remains contested among wildlife researchers. Mongolia's conservation coinage program has increasingly targeted species with fragile regional populations rather than globally charismatic fauna, a deliberate policy shift visible across their large-format silver issues of the late 2010s.
At a kilogram of .999 silver struck to 100mm, this is a display piece with essentially no circulation history by design.
