| Obverse description | Central field features the national emblem of Mongolia — the Soyombo symbol surmounted by a flaming torch, flanked by two dragons, all set within a stylised circular border of radiating lines. The legend '500' appears at the top of the field, with 'MONGOLIA' arcing along the right inner border and the Mongolian script legend arcing along the left. The denomination '500' and the inscription '1 OZ 999 SILVER' appear within the design, with the date '1995' visible beneath the emblem. The coin is framed by a decorative Greek-key pattern border running around the full circumference. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's lunar series coins of the 1990s were struck primarily for the collector export market, with mintages kept deliberately low to appeal to European and Asian numismatic distributors. The Year of the Rat falls first in the twelve-year cycle, which typically drives slightly stronger demand for those issues relative to mid-cycle animals.
