| Obverse description | The national emblem of the Mongolian People's Republic (1960–1992) occupies the upper central field, depicting a mounted horseman atop a sun-ray device, flanked by sheaves of wheat and framed by a cogwheel at the base, with a five-pointed star at apex. The Cyrillic legend БУГД НАЙРАМДАХ МОНГОЛ АРД УЛС curves along the upper periphery. The denomination НЭГ ТӨГРӨГ ('One Tögrög') is rendered in bold raised Cyrillic characters in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Mongolian People's Revolution of 1921, when Mongolian and Soviet forces expelled the Chinese administration and established what became the world's second socialist republic. The commemorative program of 1971 was one of the first times Mongolia produced coins explicitly for collector export — hard currency was a practical concern for Ulaanbaatar throughout the Soviet period, and anniversary issues were a reliable source of it.
