| Reverse description | A detailed cartographic depiction of northern and central Asia fills the field, showing the outline of Russia, Mongolia, and China with regional labels including 'SIBERIA', 'BARENTS SEA', 'MONGOLIA', 'CHINA', 'MOSCOW', 'ULAANBAATAR', and 'BEIJING'. The route of the Trans-Mongolian Railway connecting Moscow, Ulaanbaatar, and Beijing is indicated by a dotted line tracing across the map. Three oval medallions bearing the national emblems of Russia (double-headed eagle), Mongolia (Soyombo), and China (national seal) are positioned near their respective countries. The legend 'MOSCOW · ULAAN BAATAR · BEIJING' arcs along the upper border in incuse Latin letters. The design is rendered in frosted relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Additional information |
The Moscow–Ulaanbaatar–Beijing rail corridor, a branch of the Trans-Siberian network, was completed through Mongolia in 1956 after years of Soviet-directed construction using Mongolian labor. The line cut the overland journey between the two capitals from weeks to days and fundamentally reoriented Mongolian trade away from caravan routes that had functioned for centuries.
The KM#101.1 designation distinguishes this from at least one variant — likely a difference in edge treatment or finish — suggesting the issue was produced in more than one version for the collector market.
