| Reverse description | An extreme close-up portrait of a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) fills the entire field in ultra-high sculptural relief, with the bird's head positioned to the right in three-quarter view. The hooked beak is rendered with exceptional depth and mirror-polished finish, while the piercing eye is depicted with fine detail including a textured pupil. Meticulously engraved feathering covers the head and neck, with the spread wing feathers extending across the left portion of the field, creating a dramatic contrast between the deeply struck portrait and the finely striated background. The composition is borderless, maximizing the coin's surface for the naturalistic wildlife motif. |

Mongolia's eagle hunting tradition, practiced by Kazakh communities in the Bayan-Ölgii province, gained significant international visibility after the 2016 documentary The Eagle Huntress — and the Bank of Mongolia has drawn on that cultural currency repeatedly in its collector coin program. This issue belongs to a broader run of Mongolian wildlife and cultural series coins produced under contract by European mints, a common arrangement for smaller central banks seeking to tap the global bullion collector market without maintaining their own high-capacity minting infrastructure.
