| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold laser-cut silhouette of a long-eared owl perched upright, set within a large circular cutout that forms a crescent-shaped aperture in the coin's field, producing a striking openwork effect. The gold-plated surface frames the cutout, emphasizing the owl's distinctive ear tufts and overall form. The legend 'MONGOLIAN NATURE' and the date '2016' are inscribed in the field in Latin characters. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's wildlife-themed bullion and collector series expanded aggressively through the 2010s, with the Bank of Mongolia licensing designs through foreign minting intermediaries — this piece almost certainly struck at a European facility rather than domestically. The owl issues from this period were produced in limited quantities for the international collector market, not for domestic circulation, and were never intended to pass as currency despite their face value.
