| Obverse description | The obverse of this rectangular silver ingot-style coin features, to the left, the circular seal of the Bank of Mongolia — a stylized lotus-arch cartouche enclosing the Mongolian soyombo emblem above a Cyrillic inscription reading 'Монгол Банк' (Bank of Mongolia), flanked on either side by vertical Traditional Mongolian script legends. Below the seal, the denomination '5000 ТӨГРӨГ' is inscribed in large characters, with the specification legend 'MONGOLIA 5 OZ 999,0 SILVER' along the lower border. To the right of the seal, the field displays a finely detailed relief depiction of a traditional multi-tiered East Asian temple or palace complex, rendered beneath stylized clouds. |

| Obverse lettering | Монгол Банк ᠮᠤᠩᠭᠤᠯ ᠤᠯᠤᠰ 5000 TӨГРӨГ MONGOLIA 5 OZ 999,0 SILVER (Translation: The Bank of Mongolia Monggol Ulus (Mongolia) 5000 Tögrög) |
| Reverse description | The reverse bears a vivid full-color reproduction of a traditional Japanese ukiyo-e style woodblock print depicting a sumo wrestling scene. Three large sumo wrestlers clad in ceremonial mawashi loincloth belts are shown in dynamic competition poses on the dohyo ring, with secondary figures — including a referee and attendants in traditional dress — visible in the background and foreground. Japanese kanji inscriptions appear on banners and placards throughout the composition, evoking the atmosphere of a formal Edo-period tournament. The date '2005' is inscribed in the upper left field in uncolored silver relief, standing out against the polychrome image. |
