| Additional information |
Mongolia's shift to a market economy following the collapse of Soviet support in 1991 forced the Bank of Mongolia to rapidly restructure its currency system. The 200 Tögrög entered circulation as the country was navigating IMF-backed reforms and severe economic contraction — GDP had fallen by roughly a third in three years. Higher-denomination coins were a practical necessity as inflation eroded the purchasing power of smaller issues.
