| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by the official emblem of the Mongol Bank at center, dramatically flanked by the massive, deeply curved horns of an Argali ram rendered in high sculptural relief, functioning as a bold architectural framing device around the central motif. The field is decorated with a fine geometric patterned ground, providing textural contrast to the polished proof surfaces. Legends are arranged peripherally and across the field, incorporating the bank name in both Latin script (MONGOL BANK) and Traditional Mongolian script, along with the country name MONGOLIA, denomination 500 TÖGRÖG, silver fineness .999, troy weight 1 oz, and the date 2022. |

| Additional information |
The argali (Ovis ammon) is the world's largest wild sheep and holds protected status in Mongolia under the 2012 Law on Fauna, yet trophy hunting licenses have been intermittently sold to foreign nationals — a political contradiction that has drawn sustained criticism from domestic conservation groups. Mongolia's commemorative silver program has leaned heavily on endemic megafauna since the 1990s, partly as a soft-power exercise in projecting ecological stewardship.
KM#431 is a one-year type with no reported varieties.
