Descrizione del rovescio	A colorized effigy of a Steppe Eagle (Aquila rapax) is depicted standing upright upon a rocky outcrop rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The bird is shown in a naturalistic three-quarter pose, facing left, with detailed plumage highlighted in brown and golden tones through applied color. The Latin species name 'AQUILA RAPAX' is inscribed in a curved legend along the upper right periphery, while the date '1996' appears in the lower exergue area.

Informazioni aggiuntive	The steppe eagle (Aquila nipalensis) has long occupied a specific role in Mongolian falconry culture, particularly among Kazakh herders in the Bayan-Ölgii region, where the tradition of hunting with trained eagles persists to the present day. Mongolia's mid-1990s commemorative silver program was largely export-driven — these large-format pieces were sold through international numismatic distributors rather than circulated domestically, during a period when the tögrög itself was severely devalued following the end of Soviet subsidy dependence after 1991.
