MORE MONGOLIA

This is a wee set I got the other day not realising that I had some of them already but I'm not that worried as they are a good set !!

they are:

100 Tugrik from 2008
50 Tugrik from 2013
20 Tugrik from 2013
10 Tugrik from 2009
5 Tugrik from 2008

all the above have Damdin Sukhbaatar, a founder of the Mongolian peoples Party on the front and and the Soyombo symbol on the reverse .

The final note is the 1 Tugrik from 2008 see a description HERE . it is no longer used and I believe this is the last date that was issued. .The Tugrik was split into Mongos but they are not used now either as they are almost valueless.

The word Tugrik comes from the mongolian word for "circle" ( as in coin ??) and is used also for "full moon" - Tugrik Sar

The Tugrik replaced the Mongolian Dollar in 1925 and had the same value as the Russian Rouble.

MONGOLIA

Mongolia, my friend Cat's favourite country, is a landlocked country between China and Russia. Once a great empire under the control of Genghis Khan, Mongolia came under the influence of china. In 1921 independence was declared and in 1924, with soviet backing, the Mongolian Peoples Republic was formed. In 1992, a new constitution was introduced and the "Peoples Republic" was dropped from the country name, and multi party elections held.The capital is Ulan Bator

Monetary unit: 1 Tugrik = 100 Mongo

The note above is the 1 Tugrik note from 1955 with the portrait of Damdin Sukhbaatar on the front along with the country emblem.

The notes above are the 1 and 3 Tugrik notes from 1983. The 3 Tugrik note has again a portrait of Damdin Sukhbaatar but the 1 Tugrik only has the number 1 on a geometric design. the watermark on both is a stylised 6 petal flower design.

The note above is the 1993 1 Tugrik note featuring a snow lion on the from and  the Soyombo symbol on the reverse. The watermark is a young Genghis Khan.

and finally, these are the 10 and 20 Tugrik notes. The 10 Tugrik note is from 2005, whereas the 20 Tugrik note is from 2002. Both have a young Damdin Sukhbaatar on the front with horses on the back.
