The Mongolian Trade and Industry Bank — Mongolyn Худалдаа Аж Үйлдвэрийн Банк — operated under heavy Soviet influence throughout the 1940s, and the 1941 series reflects that dependency directly: the entire issue was produced by Goznak in Moscow, the same facility printing Soviet state currency. Mongolia had no domestic printing capacity, and wartime conditions made the Soviet connection the only viable option.
Pick 25 is among the scarcer denominations of this series, with relatively limited surviving quantities outside of institutional collections in Ulaanbaatar and Moscow.
