| Reverse description | Central motif features a stylised soyombo symbol — comprising a flame, sun, crescent, and yin-yang element — mounted on a vertical shaft atop a traditional Mongolian throne or altar pedestal, all enclosed within a rectangular frame. A five-pointed star surmounts the composition at the top of the field. Flanking the central device are symmetrical sprays of oak or laurel branches. The numeral 60 appears in the lower exergue, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Mongolian People's Republic. The entire design is encircled by a fine toothed or reeded inner border. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's tögrög coinage of the 1980s was produced under the Mongolian People's Republic, a Soviet satellite state whose central bank operated with little meaningful independence from Moscow. The 1984 issue falls squarely within the period of Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal's long rule — he had governed since 1952 and would be removed from power in 1984 itself, while abroad in Moscow for medical treatment, by a Politburo decision he never saw coming.
