| Obverse description | The obverse presents a highly detailed, ultra-high relief depiction of a wolf's snarling open mouth rendered in frosted finish against a mirror-polished field, occupying the lower portion of the design. The central field features the emblem of the Bank of Mongolia, with the denomination and issuing authority inscriptions arranged around it. A geometric patterned background frames the composition, with the year of issue inscribed below the central emblem. The design evokes a mystical, dual-nature theme through the juxtaposition of the snarling mouth and the institutional imagery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a masterfully engraved dual wolf composition in ultra-high relief, combining a frontal-facing wolf portrait occupying the upper left field with a second wolf depicted in close-up right-facing profile that dominates the right and lower portions of the design. The interlocking heads fill the entire coin face in a yin-yang inspired arrangement, with the mirror-polished background contrasting dramatically against the frosted, finely textured fur rendered with exceptional sculptural detail. The piercing eyes of both wolves are rendered with remarkable depth and naturalism, conveying an intense, predatory gaze. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse, allowing the artistic imagery to command the full design space. |
