| Reverse description | The reverse presents a polychrome depiction of a Moscow Metro subway car in vivid blue, rendered in full colour against a stylised background of a tunnel arch with radiating grid lines and rail tracks receding in perspective. A blue six-pointed star device appears in the upper field above the tunnel entrance. The circular legend 'МЫТИЩИНСКИЙ ВАГОНОСТРОИТЕЛЬНЫЙ ЗАВОД' (Mytishchi Car-Building Plant) runs along the upper periphery in raised Cyrillic capitals. The date '2007' appears in the left field beside the train, while the founding year '1897' is inscribed at the base of the design. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Mongolia's broader program of silver commemoratives targeting the collector market in the mid-2000s, this piece honors the Moscow Metro — a connection rooted in the Soviet-era relationship between the USSR and the Mongolian People's Republic, when Soviet urban planning, architecture, and infrastructure served as direct models for Mongolian development. Mongolia never built its own metro system; Ulaanbaatar's public transit remained largely bus-dependent.
KM#301 was struck at a European mint facility rather than domestically, a common arrangement for Mongolian commemoratives of this period given the absence of a fully equipped national mint.
