| Reverse description | The central intaglio-printed vignette illustrates a traditional nomadic scene: a large ger (yurt) mounted on a wheeled cart being transported across the steppe, accompanied by a herder on horseback and a driven flock of sheep, with additional gers visible in the background. To the left, a vertical panel carries the Mongolbank name in Cyrillic within an ornate guilloche frame surmounted by a circular security device. Denomination numerals — 500 in large script — appear at the upper left and along the right border, with the Cyrillic inscriptions МОНГОЛ УЛС at the top and ТӨГРӨГ at the bottom; the year 2020 is printed at the lower left. |

Mongolia's 500 Tögrög denomination has circulated continuously since the early 1990s, surviving multiple reissues as the Tögrög's purchasing power eroded — what was once a meaningful mid-range note is now well below a single US dollar in face value. Giesecke & Devrient have handled Mongolbank's printing contracts across several generations of this series, with the Leipzig facility producing the current cotton paper stock.
Security provision on this issue is modest: watermark and thread only, without optically variable ink or other features common on higher denominations in the same series.
