50 MNT #341

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 native to Mongolia and is a symbol of Mongolian natural heritage; the species was extinct in the wild by the 1960s but has been successfully reintroduced through international conservation efforts. The scene depicts the open grasslands and mountain ranges characteristic of Mongolia's vast territory. Text reads 'МОНГОЛ УЛС' (Mongolia) and 'ТӨГРӨГ' (tögrög, the Mongolian currency unit).

Back

Portrait of a Mongolian nobleman or dignitary in traditional ceremonial attire, wearing an ornate yellow-gold hat typical of Mongolian royal or noble dress. The figure represents Mongolia's rich cultural heritage and aristocratic traditions from the era of the Mongol Empire and its successor states. The state emblem of Mongolia (Soyombo symbol) is prominently featured, representing fire, sun, moon, earth, water and the yin-yang, a national symbol used since 1911 and officially adopted in its current form in 1992.

History

This 50 tögrög note is part of the modern series of Mongolian banknotes issued by the Bank of Mongolia (Монголбанк) beginning in 2019. The printed year '2019' appears in the lower left corner of the front. This series continues Mongolia's tradition of featuring national wildlife, cultural heritage, and traditional symbols on its currency. Mongolia uses the tögrög (MNT), introduced in 1925, as its currency unit. The depiction of Przewalski's horses reflects Mongolia's commitment to wildlife conservation and national identity, while the reverse honours the country's aristocratic and imperial past. Serial number format suggests standard production for circulation.
