Mongolia's highest denomination at the time of issue, the 20,000 Tögrög was introduced partly in response to cumulative inflation that had made smaller notes functionally awkward for everyday transactions — a persistent problem since the early 1990s liberalization, when the tögrög lost the artificial stability it had under the Soviet-era monobank system. G&D's Munich facility printed the series, and the note carries a relatively modest security specification for its face value, with watermarking as the primary overt feature.
Pick 70 is notably scarce in heavily circulated grades, likely because high-denomination notes in Mongolia tended toward hoarding rather than daily use.
