| Reverse description | A finely detailed portrait of Mother Teresa dominates the field, rendered in high relief with exceptional naturalistic detail capturing her aged features, characteristic white habit with blue border, and a small crucifix at her chest. The legend 'MOTHER TERESA' arcs along the upper rim in a stylized script, while a vertical inscription in traditional Mongolian script appears to the right of the portrait. The date '2022' is inscribed in the lower exergue in a decorative numeral style. The portrait conveys a serene, compassionate expression, consistent with her widely recognized humanitarian image. |

| Additional information |
Mother Teresa was born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Skopje in 1910 — then part of the Ottoman Empire — to Albanian parents, a biographical detail frequently obscured by her near-exclusive association with Calcutta. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950 and was canonized by Pope Francis in September 2016, triggering a wave of commemorative issues from mints worldwide. Mongolia has no particular historical connection to her work, making this a frankly commercial issue aimed at the collector market rather than any sovereign commemorative tradition.
