| Obverse description | Central to the design, the Mongol Bank state emblem is depicted within a recessed cartouche, flanked by vertical Mongolian script legends at left and right. Below the emblem, the denomination '25000 ТӨГРӨГ' is inscribed in bold characters, with the legend 'MONGOLIA 1oz .9995 PLATINUM' appearing beneath in Latin script. The entire central device is dramatically framed by a pair of massively curved Argali ram horns rendered in high relief, extending from the upper field to the lower flanks. The field surrounding the central cartouche and horns is covered with an intricate traditional Mongolian geometric lattice pattern (öljii ornament), lending the design a distinctive cultural character. A plain raised rim encircles the composition. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's argali (Ovis ammon) holds the distinction of being the world's largest wild sheep by body mass, and the species faces mounting pressure from trophy hunting quotas that the Mongolian government has periodically suspended and reinstated under international scrutiny. This platinum issue belongs to a series that has run across multiple metals and years, with the platinum variants typically struck in extremely limited quantities — often under 100 pieces globally — making population reports from PCGS and NGC the most reliable guide to actual survivor numbers.
