5 Tögrög MNT #344

Front

Horses grazing in the Mongolian steppe with mountains in the background. The scene represents Mongolia's pastoral heritage and the central role of horses in Mongolian culture and history — the horse has been essential to Mongolian nomadic life for millennia and remains a national symbol. The imagery evokes the vast grasslands of the Mongolian plateau.

Back

Damdin Sükhbaatar (1893–1923), Mongolian revolutionary hero and founding father of the Mongolian People's Republic. A military leader who played a decisive role in Mongolia's independence from Chinese rule in 1921, Sükhbaatar is one of the most revered figures in modern Mongolian history. The note also features the Soyombo symbol, Mongolia's national emblem, which combines Buddhist, Taoist and indigenous Mongolian symbols representing freedom, independence and sovereignty.

History

This is a 5 tögrög note from the 2014 series issued by the Bank of Mongolia (Mongolgolyn Bank). The series was introduced in 2014 with updated security features and continued Mongolia's tradition of honouring Sükhbaatar on its lower-denomination currency. Mongolia has used the tögrög (tugrik) since 1925, following the establishment of the Mongolgoyn Bank in 1924. The 2014 series maintains traditional Mongolian design elements while incorporating modern anti-counterfeiting measures. The AR prefix serial number indicates regular production. This denomination remains in active circulation as of 2024, though lower-value notes are being gradually replaced by coins in practice.
