Front: Przewalski's horses (takhi) grazing in the Mongolian steppe with mountains in the background. The Przewalski's horse is the only surviving wild horse subspecies and is considered sacred in Mongolian culture; after near-extinction in the wild, reintroduction programs have returned these horses to their native grasslands. The scene celebrates Mongolia's natural heritage and the iconic landscapes of the central Asian steppes.

Back: Portrait of a young Mongolian woman wearing traditional dress (deel) and an elaborate ceremonial headdress typical of married women in historical Mongolian culture. The State Emblem of Mongolia (featuring the Soyombo symbol) appears at center, representing the nation's independence and sovereignty. Traditional Mongolian script appears vertically at right, reading 'Mongol Bank' and the denomination.

The story

Background & history

This 10 tögrög note belongs to the series issued after Mongolia's transition to democracy and market economy in the early 1990s, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The design emphasizes Mongolian national identity through indigenous cultural imagery and wildlife. The tögrög (MNT) has been Mongolia's currency since 1925, though this modern series replaced earlier socialist-era designs. Low-denomination notes like the 10 tögrög have been gradually phased out due to inflation, with this denomination withdrawn from active circulation by 2017. The note features both traditional Mongolian script (vertical orientation) and Cyrillic script, reflecting Mongolia's dual writing system heritage.
