| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '5' in Classical Mongolian script appears in the upper field, separated by a horizontal line from the word 'Möngö' inscribed below in the same script. The central legend is framed by a half-wreath of stylized floral and foliate branches rising from the base and meeting at the lower center, lending a decorative heraldic quality to the design. A toothed inner border runs around the entire circumference, inside the raised rim. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's 1937 coinage was produced under heavy Soviet influence, with the Mongolian People's Republic functioning as a satellite state of the USSR throughout this period. The physical specifications of this issue — notably heavy for a minor denomination — reflect Soviet-era design philosophy favoring durability over economy of materials. Aluminium bronze was the standard alloy across Soviet-aligned states at the time, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in extreme continental climates like Mongolia's.
