Banknotes

Like coins the tögrög banknotes were very similar to the Soviet ruble during the Mongolian People's Republic era. The similarities included color theme, overall design, and the lineup of the denominations, which were 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 tögrög unless stated otherwise. The color for each value is

  • 1 tögrög: brown
  • 2 tögrög: green
  • 5 tögrög: blue
  • 10 tögrög: green
  • 20 tögrög: red
  • 25 tögrög: lilac
  • 50 tögrög: green
  • 100 tögrög: brown

They were all printed in the Soviet Union. But modern tögrög banknotes are usually printed in Great Britain.
