| Obverse description | Central octagonal inset panel in high relief, surrounded by a traditional Mongolian geometric meander pattern (öngön) background. Within the octagonal frame, the state emblem of Mongolia (soyombo) is displayed above the legend 'Mongol Bank' in both Latin and traditional Mongolian script, with the denomination '25000 ТӨГРӨГ' inscribed below. Flanking the central panel in ultra-high relief are the massive forelegs and hooves of a bison, rendered in exceptional naturalistic detail. The composition creates a striking visual effect, with the finely textured fur of the animal contrasting against the ornamental geometric field. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia has no native bison population — the animal depicted here belongs to the broader genus Bison, which in Central Asian numismatic issues almost certainly references the European or American species as a prestige wildlife subject rather than any indigenous fauna. This is a common pattern in the Mongolian bullion and commemorative program, which has aggressively targeted the international collector market since the 2000s by licensing recognizable wildlife subjects with no particular geographic connection to Mongolia itself.
