| Reverse description | Within a central circular medallion, a Siberian Ibex (Capra sibirica) is depicted in full profile standing atop a rocky outcrop, facing left, with its distinctive long curved horns rendered in fine detail against a mountainous landscape background. To the left of the animal, the denomination '٢٠' and the Arabic word 'ريالاً' are inscribed in the field. The date '2025' appears in Latin numerals along the lower arc of the inner circle. The engraver's initials 'ВБ' (Vitaly Bakhtinov) are visible at the base below the central medallion. A decorative chain-link border follows the octagonal periphery of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Private fantasy issues attributed to "Vitaly Bakhtinov" circulate freely on secondary markets under invented regional names — Baluchistan among them. Baluchistan is a real administrative region split across Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan, but it issues no currency and has no monetary authority. This piece has no governmental, historical, or institutional basis whatsoever.
Silver-plated copper-nickel at 31 grams is a format deliberately chosen to mimic the heft of a genuine crown-sized collector coin. Buyer awareness is the only relevant fact here.
