| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic high-relief depiction of two judo competitors engaged in a throwing technique, one athlete executing a hip throw while gripping the opponent's judogi. The figures are rendered with considerable anatomical detail and a strong sense of motion, occupying the central field. The curved legend 'OLYMPIC GAMES 2000' arcs across the upper periphery within a raised inner border, while the mintage year '1997' appears in the lower left field. The composition is set against a polished proof field, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the athletic scene. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's mid-1990s commemorative program was largely driven by foreign minting contracts rather than domestic demand — most of these Olympic-themed issues were produced for the international collector market and saw no meaningful circulation within the country. The 1997 judo issue appeared the year after the Atlanta Games, a scheduling gap common to many Mongolian commemoratives of this period that followed rather than preceded the events they marked.
