| Obverse description | At centre, the ornate emblem of the Bank of Mongolia — featuring the soyombo symbol within a shield-shaped cartouche, flanked by decorative foliate scrollwork and surmounted by a lotus finial — is rendered in high relief. The cursive Cyrillic legend 'Монгол Банк' (Bank of Mongolia) appears immediately below the emblem, followed by a decorative ribbon bow. A laurel wreath frames the lower portion of the central device. The large numeral '25000' occupies the lower field, with the denomination 'ТӨГРӨГ' inscribed beneath it. Vertical Traditional Mongolian script legends flank the central emblem to the left and right, while the circular border legend reads 'MONGOLIA · 0.5 OZ. 999 GOLD · 1997 ·' along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Ögedei Khan — third son of Chinggis and second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire — presided over the conquest of the Jin dynasty's final strongholds and authorized the western campaigns that swept deep into Poland and Hungary in 1241. He died the same year those armies reached the Adriatic, and it was his death, not military defeat, that halted the westward advance. European chroniclers could not explain why the Mongols withdrew; the answer was succession politics in Karakorum.
This piece belongs to a series issued by Mongol Bank marking figures from the imperial period, produced in the late 1990s as Mongolia actively cultivated numismatic export revenue following the collapse of Soviet-era economic structures.
