| Obverse description | At center, the Mongolian state emblem (Soyombo) depicted within a circular sunburst of radiating lines, flanked by two stylized dragons in low relief. The denomination '500' appears at the top of the field, with the legend 'MONGOLIA' running along the right border in Latin script and the Mongolian script legend along the left border. Below the central emblem, the inscription '1 OZ 999 SILVER' is positioned in the lower field. The entire design is framed by an ornamental geometric border of interlocking meander pattern. |

| Reverse description | A partially gilt ox depicted in bold relief, standing in a naturalistic landscape setting with grass and rocks in the lower field. A small child figure, also gilt, is seated atop the ox's back, holding a string attached to a dragonfly hovering above. In the upper right field, an elaborate spray of peony blossoms rendered in fine detail against the mirror-like proof surface. The date '1997' is inscribed in the upper right portion of the field, and Mongolian script characters appear to the left. The selective gold gilding applied to the ox and child creates a striking contrast against the frosted and polished silver ground. |
