| Reverse description | A Bactrian camel facing right in the central field carries two children dressed in traditional Mongolian costume, one of whom raises a hand in greeting; sparse steppe vegetation appears beneath the camel's feet. The Latin legend INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE CHILD arcs around the upper rim. In the lower field, the denomination numeral 25 is flanked by vertical columns of traditional Mongolian script, with the Cyrillic word ТӨГРӨГ (Tögrög) inscribed along the lower rim. The UNICEF emblem appears at the lower right and a second organisational emblem at the lower left, all set against a deeply mirrored proof-like field. |

| Additional information |
The International Year of the Child was declared by the UN General Assembly for 1979, prompting a wave of commemorative issues from member states. Mongolia's participation was notable — the Mongolian People's Republic rarely issued collector coinage, and piedfort versions were virtually unheard of from Soviet-aligned states at this date. A piedfort, struck at double the normal planchet thickness, was a format historically associated with French royal proof issues; its appearance here reflects the growing 1970s market for premium numismatic products sold through Western coin dealers for hard currency.
KM#P1 designation confirms this as the first piedfort recorded for Mongolia.
