| Reverse description | The reverse presents a raised portrait bust of Sir Edmund Hillary depicted facing slightly left, rendered in high relief against a darkened proof field, with a dramatic mountainous landscape — evoking the Himalayan range — visible in the background behind and to either side of the figure. The arcing legend 'HISTORY OF ASIA' runs along the upper periphery in bold Latin capitals. The name 'HILLARY' is inscribed in the mid-field to the right of the portrait, identifying the subject. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Mongolia's long-running commemorative program that, through the 1990s and 2000s, issued themed silver coins largely for the export collector market rather than domestic circulation. The "Hillary" designation almost certainly references Sir Edmund Hillary, whose 1953 Everest summit — shared with Tenzing Norgay — was marked by numerous countries on its 50th anniversary in 2003, Mongolia among them.
KM# 302 is a low-mintage export issue with no meaningful circulation history.
