| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by two large circular guilloche rosettes in orange and green, each enclosing the numeral "25" above the Cyrillic denomination inscription, set against a finely reticulated underprint of interlocking geometric patterns reminiscent of Buddhist eternal knot motifs. The year "1955" is printed at the top center, with the denomination title "ХОРИН ТАВАН ТӨГРӨГ" in bold Cyrillic lettering across the upper field. A central Cyrillic text panel carries the anti-counterfeiting warning. |

The 1955 Mongolian series, of which this 25 Tögrög is a part, was printed by Goznak in Moscow during the height of Soviet-Mongolian economic integration — a period when the Mongolian Peoples' Republic was institutionally dependent on Soviet technical infrastructure for everything from currency printing to industrial planning. Goznak had been producing Mongolian banknotes since the early Tugrik series of the 1920s, and by 1955 the arrangement was entirely routine on the Soviet side.
The designer credits — Shi-bu and D.Amgalan — are unusually specific for a Soviet-era satellite issue, where local attribution was rarely documented at all.
