The locomotive advances toward the left, emitting a billowing plume of smoke, with rocky cliffs and clouds visible in the background. The curved legend 'MOSCOW - ULAAN BAATAR - BEIJING' arcs along the upper border, commemorating the Trans-Mongolian Railway route linking the three capitals. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's 1995 commemorative program coincided with intense diplomatic maneuvering over the Trans-Mongolian Railway's commercial future following Soviet collapse. The line — running from the Russian border at Naushki through Ulaanbaatar to the Chinese border at Erenhot — had operated under Soviet-era joint administration, and by 1995 Mongolia was actively renegotiating its position between two powerful neighbors with competing freight interests.
The 155-gram format places this among the large-format "kilo-class" issues that Mongolian state minting partnerships favored for export collector markets throughout the 1990s, most produced under contract by European mints rather than struck domestically.
