| Obverse description | Central device features the soyombo symbol surmounted by a flame finial, enclosed within an ornate stylised crown or lotus-petal arch motif. Beneath the arch, the inscription 'Монгол Банк' is rendered in decorative cursive script. Flanking the central device on the left and right are vertical Mongolian traditional script legends. The denomination '1000' in large numerals appears in the lower central field, with 'ТӨГРӨГ' inscribed below. Along the lower rim, the legend 'MONGOLIA 2OZ .999 SILVER' is inscribed in Latin capitals. The coin's border is defined by a continuous sawtooth or serrated inner rim pattern. |

| Additional information |
Nicholas I ruled Russia from 1825 until his death in 1855, his reign bookended by the Decembrist uprising at its start and the humiliating reversal of the Crimean War at its close. Mongolia's Bank has issued a long-running series of silver crowns commemorating historical world figures with little obvious connection to Mongolian history — Nicholas I among them. The KM#295 reference places this firmly within that collector-focused program, produced almost certainly at a European contract mint rather than domestically.
