| Reverse description | A highly detailed, sculptural bust of a wild rabbit occupies the left and central field, rendered in fine antique silver relief with exceptional naturalistic precision, depicting the animal's fur texture, whiskers, and alert eye in remarkable detail. The right and lower portions of the field are filled with a vibrant polychrome application of wildflowers — including daisies, cornflowers, and chrysanthemums — in pink, blue, purple, red, and white, creating a striking contrast with the monochrome rabbit. The series inscription 'Woodland Spirits' is lettered in cursive along the lower edge of the inner field. The overall composition is artistically ambitious, combining sculptural high relief with full-color printing techniques characteristic of CIT's premium collector series. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's "Woodland Spirits" series draws on Mongolian shamanic tradition, in which forest animals are understood as vessels for ancestral spirits rather than mere fauna. The rabbit in this belief system occupies a specific protective role tied to household and hearth — a distinction from the more commonly invoked wolf or eagle of steppe mythology.
The series was produced by the Czech Mint under contract, which handled the majority of Mongolia's commemorative silver program during this period.
