| Reverse description | The large bold numeral '50' dominates the upper central field, rendered in a distinctive lined engraving style with each digit finely line-filled, conveying a strong graphic quality. Directly below the numeral, the Cyrillic denomination legend МӨНГӨ is inscribed in the mid-field. An open wreath of stylized botanical sprays, featuring broad leaves and budding flowers, frames the lower portion of the design, with the two branches meeting at the base. A toothed or serrated inner border runs along the full circumference, providing decorative framing. |

| Additional information |
Mongolia's möngö coinage of this period was produced under the Mongolian People's Republic, a Soviet satellite state whose monetary system was tightly integrated with COMECON economic planning. Coins were struck at the Leningrad Mint — Mongolia had no domestic minting capability — and shipments were coordinated through Soviet trade agreements rather than independent monetary policy decisions.
The series ran across eleven years with no recorded annual mintage breakdowns widely available in Western references, making date-specific population data unreliable.
