The Cyrillic abbreviation БНМАУ (Бүгд Найрамдах Монгол Ард Улс, meaning Mongolian People's Republic) appears above the emblem, while the full Cyrillic legend БҮГД НАЙРАМДАХ МОНГОЛ АРД УЛС is inscribed around the periphery. The mint year is incorporated into the legend. The coin's rim is plain with a dentilated inner border. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's möngö coinage of this period was produced under the Mongolian People's Republic, a Soviet satellite state whose monetary system was tightly integrated with COMECON economic planning. Coins were struck at the Leningrad Mint — Mongolia had no domestic minting capability — and shipments were coordinated through Soviet trade agreements rather than independent monetary policy decisions.
The series ran across eleven years with no recorded annual mintage breakdowns widely available in Western references, making date-specific population data unreliable.
