| Obverse description | The obverse features the Mongolian national emblem rendered in Traditional Mongolian script, centrally displaying the Soyombo symbol — a complex columnar device incorporating a flame, sun, moon, and geometric forms — flanked on either side by vertical Traditional Mongolian script legends. The date appears in Traditional Mongolian numerals at the base of the design. The field is plain, and the coin is encircled by a fine dentilated border. The overall design reflects Mongolia's post-Soviet reaffirmation of its traditional script and national identity. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's shift to a market economy following the collapse of Soviet support in 1991 created immediate monetary instability, with inflation running above 300% annually by 1993. The tögrög required rapid redenomination of everyday transactions, and the 100-tögrög coin filled a gap left by the near-worthless lower denominations that had dominated Soviet-era circulation.
