| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large circular cutout representing a full moon occupying the majority of the field, against which a die-cut openwork silhouette of a howling wolf stands prominently at center-lower right, its head raised skyward in a classic howling pose. The gold-plated field surrounding the pierced lunar disc provides a rich textured background. The curved legend 'MONGOLIAN NATURE' followed by the date '2013' is inscribed along the left side of the field in raised Latin characters, completing the naturalistic composition. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's wolf coinage series drew on a push by the Bank of Mongolia in the early 2010s to market collectible wildlife issues internationally, piggy-backing on the broader Central Asian numismatic export boom of that decade. These pieces were struck by foreign contract mints — almost certainly a European facility — rather than any domestic Mongolian operation, which has no meaningful precious-metal striking capacity of its own.
KM#327 sits in a crowded field of Mongolian silver issues from this period, many of which share the same 14.175 g planchet specification across different wildlife themes.
