Mongolia's post-socialist monetary reform of 1991–1993 produced a complete series of small-denomination notes as the country severed its currency arrangements with the Soviet ruble bloc. This 10 Möngö was part of that reissue — fractional values that almost immediately became functionally worthless as inflation consumed purchasing power through the mid-1990s, making circulated survivors rarer than the face value implies.
Thomas De La Rue handled the printing, as they did for much of the new Mongolian series, having secured the contract as Mongolia opened to Western commercial relationships following 1990.
