| Reverse description | Cream-white note set within a dark blue-grey border with traditional Mongolian endless-knot corner ornaments and yin-yang symbols at the lower corners. The lower half of the face carries a central vignette of a standing Mongolian horse in profile within a dark semicircular underprint, above which is a rectangular official ink-stamp impression. Columns of vertical Mongolian script fill the entire field on both sides of the central vignette, with a trilingual text band in Mongolian, English, and Cyrillic Russian running along the lower margin. |

| Comments |
The 1921 Mongolian treasury obligations are among the most unusual early Central Asian paper issues — denominated in dollars rather than any indigenous currency unit, which reflects the practical reality that the newly declared Mongolian People's Government had no functioning monetary infrastructure and relied heavily on Chinese and Russian silver coinage already circulating in the country. The dollar denomination was likely a pragmatic gesture toward foreign commercial credibility rather than any formal peg.
The 6% interest-bearing structure classifies this technically as a bond obligation rather than circulating currency, though in practice the distinction mattered little on the Mongolian steppe in 1921.
