Front: Przewalski's horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) grazing in the Mongolian steppe, with mountains in the background. These endangered wild horses, native to the steppes of Central Asia, were extinct in the wild by the late 1960s but have been successfully reintroduced to Mongolia through conservation efforts. They are the only truly wild horse subspecies remaining and are considered a national treasure of Mongolia, symbolizing the country's natural heritage and commitment to wildlife conservation.

Back: Portrait of a Mongolian noblewoman wearing an elaborate traditional ceremonial headdress (boqta/boγta), characteristic of Mongolian aristocratic women during the medieval period and Mongol Empire era. The ornate headdress with its distinctive cylindrical crown decorated with pearls and jewels represents the rich cultural heritage of Mongolian nobility. The Soyombo symbol—Mongolia's national emblem combining Buddhist, Taoist and shamanistic symbols representing freedom and independence—appears at center, flanked by traditional Mongolian script inscriptions.

The story

Background & history

This 50 tögrög note is part of Mongolia's 2020 banknote series, issued by the Bank of Mongolia (Mongolbank). The date '2020' is clearly printed at the lower left of the front. This series represents a modern redesign of Mongolian currency, maintaining cultural themes while incorporating updated security features. The reverse features traditional Mongolian script (Old Mongolian vertical script) alongside the portrait, emphasizing cultural continuity. The front celebrates Mongolia's unique wildlife heritage with Przewalski's horses, which have been central to Mongolian identity and the country's conservation success story. The denomination is displayed in both numerals and Mongolian script (Тѳгрөг/tögrög). Mongolia has maintained the tögrög as its currency since 1925, with various series issued as the country transitioned from socialism to democracy in the 1990s.
