| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by three large interlocking guilloche rosettes arranged horizontally across the centre of the note, printed in green and brown tones on a plain paper ground. Traditional Mongolian script legends appear above and below the central vignette grouping, with the alphanumeric serial number printed in red at upper left and lower right. The overall layout is spare and geometric, relying entirely on the elaborate lathe-work of the guilloche medallions for ornamental effect. |

The year '1925' appears in Western numerals along the lower margin beneath the medallion. Columns of traditional Mongolian script text flank the central vignette on both the left and right sides. |

| Comments |
The Mongolian Trade and Industry Bank was established in 1924 as a joint Soviet-Mongolian venture, with the USSR holding a majority stake — a financial arrangement that made Goznak the natural choice for printing the inaugural banknote series. These 1925 tögrög notes were among the first issues of a fully independent Mongolian currency, replacing the Chinese taels and Russian rubles that had circulated simultaneously in the country for decades.
The tögrög itself was introduced at parity with the Soviet chervonets ruble, anchoring Mongolia's monetary system firmly to Moscow from the outset. P#7 is one of the lower denominations in that founding series.
