Mongolia — 10 Tugrik 1966

Banknote with a denomination of 10 Tugrik, issued by the State Bank of Mongolia in 1966 as a regular circulation note.

The obverse features a portrait of Damdiny Sukhbaatar (founder of the Mongolian People’s Party and leader of the 1921 revolution) and the national emblem. Signatures include the Chairman and Chief Accountant of the State Bank of Mongolia at that time.

The reverse shows Buddhist “eternal knots” and intricate guilloche patterns. The design emphasizes socialist symbolism of the MPR era, national traditions, and ornamental art.

This is one of the mid-denominations in the 1966 series, introduced during socialist Mongolia, reflecting a transitional stage in banknote design after monetary reform.
