| Obverse description | The Soyombo, Mongolia's national emblem, occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished background. The columnar symbol incorporates stylized representations of fire, sun, moon, earth, water, and the taijitu (yin-yang), serving as a traditional emblem of sovereignty and freedom. The date appears below the central device. Surrounding legends in Latin and traditional Mongolian script identify the nation and denomination, with the inscription referencing the 70th anniversary of the Mongolian state. A finely milled border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Among the largest gold coins ever produced in the post-Soviet world, this 1992 issue was struck to commemorate the 770th anniversary of the Mongol Empire's consolidation under Chinggis Khan — a politically charged choice for a newly independent Mongolia just breaking from decades of Soviet-imposed historical revisionism that had systematically suppressed Chinggis Khan's national significance. The coin was minted by the British Royal Mint on commission.
One kilogram of .9999 fine gold at 85mm places this firmly in collector-only territory. Mintage was extremely limited; precise figures remain inconsistently documented across major references.
