Mongolia's 500 Tögrög denomination has circulated continuously since the early 1990s, surviving multiple reissues as the Tögrög's purchasing power eroded — what was once a meaningful mid-range note is now well below a single US dollar in face value. Giesecke & Devrient have handled Mongolbank's printing contracts across several generations of this series, with the Leipzig facility producing the current cotton paper stock.
Security provision on this issue is modest: watermark and thread only, without optically variable ink or other features common on higher denominations in the same series.
