| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national emblem of Mongolia — the Soyombo symbol surmounted by a flame finial — set within a stylised heart-shaped cartouche occupying the upper centre of the field. The Cyrillic legend 'Монгол Банк' arcs across the centre of the cartouche, flanked on either side by vertical inscriptions in the traditional Mongolian script. A decorative laurel sprig borders the base of the cartouche. Below, the denomination '1000' appears in large numerals with 'TOGROG' beneath, and the date '2003' is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a three-quarter portrait of Confucius facing slightly right, shown as a bearded elder wearing traditional robes and holding a scroll or tablet in his left hand. To his right, a large unfurled scroll bears a Confucian quotation rendered in classical Chinese characters. The curved legend 'HISTORY OF ASIA' arcs along the upper rim in bold Latin letters, with the name 'CONFUCIUS' inscribed in smaller characters across the upper field. The deeply contrasting proof-like fields enhance the sculptural relief of the figural composition. |
