| Comments |
Mongolia's 1994 series was the first major post-Soviet redesign of the tögrög, issued as the country navigated a genuinely chaotic transition from a command economy. The 5000 denomination was the highest value in the series — in a period of sharp inflation, that distinction shifted meaning quickly.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement was a deliberate pivot away from Soviet-era printing relationships. Earlier Mongolian notes had been produced in the USSR; contracting London-based De La Rue signaled something more than a technical choice.
