1 Tögrög People's Republic

Mongolia's tögrög coinage of the 1980s was produced under the Mongolian People's Republic, a Soviet satellite state whose central bank operated with little meaningful independence from Moscow. The 1984 issue falls squarely within the period of Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal's long rule — he had governed since 1952 and would be removed from power in 1984 itself, while abroad in Moscow for medical treatment, by a Politburo decision he never saw coming.
