A vertical column of Traditional Mongolian script appears to the right of the portrait. The mintmark 'oM' of the Mexican Mint appears to the lower left of the bust. The peripheral legend along the lower arc reads 'CHINGGIS KHAN 1162-1227' in Latin characters, framed by an ornamental beaded inner border. |

| Additional information |
Issued in 1996 to mark the 830th anniversary of Chinggis Khan's birth — though the actual birth year remains disputed among historians, with estimates ranging from 1155 to 1167 — this coin reflects Mongolia's post-Soviet embrace of Chinggis as the central symbol of national identity. The Bank of Mongolia began issuing collector silver in earnest only after 1990 independence, and this denomination anchored several of its early numismatic programs.
