They are hunted for both their meat and their horns, used in traditional Chinese medicine. Males have two large corkscrew shaped horns that they use for competing with each other. The side profile view on the reverse is struck in Ultra-High Relief with an incredible amount of detail given to the fur and the horn. The Smartminting relief extends all the way to the edge of the coin. The obverse shows the corkscrew horns of an argali in ultra-high relief. The background has a unique geometric pattern with the hidden “2022” date struck into the design. The obverse also includes the Coat of Arms of Mongolia and the inscriptions: “2000 тогрог” – the face value, “MONGOLIA” – the country of issue and “3 oz .999 SILVER” – the weight of the coin and the fineness of the Silver.
