| Obverse description | The obverse features a centrally placed gold-toned copper-nickel insert in the form of a traditional Mongolian ornamental shield or soyombo-like cartouche, bearing in cursive script the legend 'Монгол Банк' (Bank of Mongolia) above a decorative foliate wreath motif. Above the insert, the Mongolian state emblem — the soyombo — is rendered in high relief within a stylized arch. The denomination '500 ТӨГРӨГ' appears in large numerals below the insert in the silver field. Traditional Mongolian script inscriptions flank the design on the left and right fields, while the legend 'MONGOLIA 25gr 925 SILVER' is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia issued a series of bimetallic commemoratives in the late 1990s honoring figures with no geographic or historical connection to the country — a practice common among smaller mints seeking hard currency from the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. Da Vinci was a reliable seller. KM#181a specifically denotes the silver-ring variant, distinguished from the standard copper-nickel version (KM#181) struck the same year.
