Obverse description Central field displays the state emblem of the Mongolian People's Republic (1960–1992), featuring a mounted horseman galloping across a landscape before a rising sun, all within a circular wreath of wheat sheaves tied at the base by a ribbon inscribed 'БНМАУ' (the Mongolian abbreviation for the Mongolian People's Republic), surmounted by a star. The Cyrillic legend 'БҮГД НАЙРАМДАХ МОНГОЛ АРД УЛС' curves around the upper periphery, with the date '1987' positioned in the lower field.

Reverse description A finely detailed snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is depicted in profile, striding purposefully to the left across the field, its long tail extended behind for balance and its spotted and streaked coat rendered with delicate engraving. A stylised mountain range occupies the upper background, evoking the leopard's natural Mongolian highland habitat. The denomination '25' appears in large numerals in the lower field, with the Cyrillic legend 'ТӨГРӨГ' inscribed below. The coin's inner border consists of a continuous row of serrated triangular dentils encircling the entire design.
