| Reverse description | Facing bust portrait of Chinggis Khan (Genghis Khan), depicted in traditional Mongol attire including a characteristic helmet or headdress, with a moustache and beard rendered in fine high-relief detail. To the upper right of the portrait, a vertical inscription in traditional Mongolian script (Uighur-Mongolian) appears in the field. The mintmark 'Mo' is visible to the left of the portrait. The legend 'CHINGGIS KHAN 1162–1227' arcs along the lower portion of the coin within an ornate beaded and foliate inner border. The design is struck against a mirrored proof field. |

| Additional information |
Issued in 1996 to mark the 830th anniversary of Chinggis Khan's birth, this was among the first high-denomination gold issues the Bank of Mongolia produced targeting the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. The .9999 fineness — finer than the traditional .900 gold standard common in earlier commemorative coinage — reflects the late-1990s trend among smaller sovereign mints competing for bullion-collector crossover buyers.
Mongolia's commemorative program expanded aggressively through the 1990s under agreements with foreign minting houses, and several issues from this period were struck outside Ulaanbaatar entirely.
