| Reverse description | A highly detailed, ultra-high relief effigy of a rooster standing in profile facing left, rendered with exceptional sculptural depth against a darkened antiqued field. The bird is depicted with naturalistic feather texture, a pronounced comb and wattles, and stands amid tufts of grass at the base. To the lower left of the design, the Chinese character '雞' (rooster) appears alongside the date '2017'. The legend 'YEAR OF THE ROOSTER' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin lettering, and a continuous Greek key (meander) border pattern frames the inner design around the entire circumference. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's lunar series coins are struck primarily for export collectors rather than domestic circulation, with production contracted through overseas minting facilities. The rooster series entry falls within a broader Chinese lunar calendar program that the Bank of Mongolia has issued since the early 2000s, targeting East Asian collector markets where zodiac-themed silver commands reliable premiums. Mintages on these issues are typically capped low by contract terms, though exact figures for KM#368 are not consistently published in major references.
