| Additional information |
Mongolia's small-denomination coinage of this period was issued under the Mongolian People's Republic, a Soviet satellite state whose monetary system was tightly integrated with COMECON economic policy. The tögrög itself had been introduced in 1925 to displace Chinese currency that had dominated Mongolian trade, and these later issues continued that function in an economy where wages and prices were state-controlled to the point that coin design barely changed across decades of production.
