| Additional information |
Mongolia's 1925 coinage was among the first issued by the Mongolian People's Republic following its formal Soviet-backed reorganization in 1924, replacing the theocratic government of the Bogd Khan, who had died the previous year. The new state needed its own currency quickly, and these copper pieces were struck at the Leningrad Mint — a dependency on Soviet infrastructure that would define Mongolian coin production for decades.
The 1925 set represents the republic's first standardized decimal coinage, with the möngö subdividing the newly designated tögrög at 100 to one.
