| Comments |
The Mongolian Trade and Industry Bank was the sole issuing authority in Mongolia from 1924 until it was reorganized and renamed in 1954 — a three-decade span during which Mongolian currency design, printing, and monetary policy were effectively extensions of Soviet administrative infrastructure. Goznak in Moscow printed the entire series, as it did for a number of Soviet-aligned states whose own industrial capacity didn't extend to intaglio security printing.
The 1939 date places this note squarely in the period when Mongolia was absorbing massive Soviet military presence ahead of and during the Battles of Khalkhin Gol, the undeclared border war with Japan that peaked that summer.
