| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination in Classical Mongolian script, with the numeral 15 rendered in large Mongolian script characters in the upper field, separated by a horizontal line from the word for möngö below. The central legend is framed by an open wreath of stylised floral and foliate branches, tied at the base with a lotus blossom motif. The field is plain and unadorned, allowing the denomination to read with clarity. A toothed border of triangular denticles runs along the inner rim, consistent with the obverse. |

| Additional information |
The 1937 Mongolian coinage series was issued during a period of intense Soviet influence over the MPR, with coin designs and metallurgical specifications dictated largely by Moscow. That same year, the Stalinist purges reached Ulaanbaatar with particular violence — Prime Minister Genden was removed, arrested, and later executed, and the country's Buddhist monastic establishment was being systematically destroyed. Coins from this precise year carry an odd historical weight given how thoroughly Mongolian civil society was being restructured around them.
