| Additional information |
Issued under the Mongolian People's Republic during its most doctrinaire Soviet-aligned period, this series was produced with direct technical assistance from the USSR — Mongolian coinage of this era was struck using Soviet minting infrastructure and expertise. The tögrög system it belongs to had been introduced in 1925 to sever the country's monetary ties to Chinese currency, a politically charged break that still carried ideological weight decades later.
