Mongolian coins

Since Mongolia has been transferred into free market economy

new coins have been introduced into money circulation.

Currently there are four different denominations of coins,

20, 50, 100 and 200 Togrog coins. 

Although these coins were issued in 1994, they were put in circulation 

only in 1998.

 

 

20 and 50 T coins are made of Aluminum. 20 Togrog and 50 Togrog are written in Cyrillic 

on the obverse sides of the coins. 

The smallest coin, 20T, has a diameter

 of 17.5 mm and weighs 0.78 gr. 

50T coin weighs 1.68 gr. and 

has a diameter of 23.0 mm.  

 

 

 

 

100 and 200T coins are made of Cupronickel  

and are heavier in weight, 3.84 gr. and 6.2 gr. 

Megjid Janraiseg Temple is engraved 

on the front side of the 100T coin 

which has a diameter of 22.0 mm.

200T coin displays the Government House 

on its obverse side and has 

diameter of 25.0 mm.

 

 

 

 

All the coins have the same design on their reverse sides, 

Soyombo symbol is carved, and Mongolia and 1994 are written

 in the Mongolian Traditional Script. 

The other side of the coins displays Bank of Mongolia 

in Cyrillic alphabet.
