| Obverse description | Central field features the Soyombo national symbol of the Mongolian People's Republic, rendered in traditional style and surrounded by a circular legend in Classical Mongolian script. The date, expressed in Mongolian numerals, appears below the central device. The legend reads 'People's Republic of Mongolia' around the periphery, with the regnal year 15 (corresponding to 1925) also inscribed. The design reflects the iconographic conventions established following Mongolian independence in 1924. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's 1925 coinage series was among the first issued by the Mongolian People's Republic following the country's reorganization under Soviet influence after the 1921 revolution. The 1925 issues were struck in Leningrad, the new republic lacking any domestic minting infrastructure. Soviet technical and economic dependence ran deep — the denominations themselves, the möngö system, were structured in direct parallel to the Soviet kopek framework introduced that same period.
The .500 fine silver specification was a deliberate compromise, matching Soviet subsidiary coinage standards of the era rather than the higher fineness of pre-revolutionary Chinese-influenced currency that had previously circulated in the region.
