Description: A number of documents provide evidences that since the Hun, Tureg, and Uigur empires, the Mongols have utilized coinage in trade. Upon establishing the unified Mongol Empire, Chinggis Khan introduced gold and silver coins called Sukhes and later, in the year of 1227, introduced the world's first paper money into circulation. The tögrög was introduced on December 9, 1925, it replaced the Mongolian dollar and other currencies and became the sole legal currency on April 1, 1928. 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. Formerly, all banknotes were printed in the Soviet Union. Modern tögrög banknotes are generally printed in the United Kingdom.The leograph of Chinthe is a highly stylized lion commonly depicted in Burmese iconography and architecture, especially as a pair of guardians flanking the entrances of Buddhist Buddhist monasteries.A paiza or gerege was a tablet carried by Mongol officials and envoys to signify certain privileges and authority.

The Soyombo has ten elements in the columnar arrangement of abstract and geometric symbols and patterns. They are fire, sun, moon, two triangles, two horizontal rectangles, the Taijitu (yin and yang) and two vertical rectangles. The elements in the symbol are given the following significance (from top):Fire is a general symbol of eternal growth, wealth, and success.

Mongolian symbol of the sun, moon and fire derived from the Xiongnu. The two triangles (▼) allude to the point of an arrow or spear. They point downward to announce the defeat of interior and exterior enemies. The two horizontal rectangles (▬) give stability to the round shape. The rectangular shape represents the honesty and justice of the people of Mongolia, whether they stand at the top or at the bottom of society. The Taijitu symbol (☯) illustrates the mutual complement of man and woman. It is interpreted as two fishes, symbolizing vigilance, because fish never close their eyes.

They represent unity and strength, relating to a Mongolian proverb: "The friendship of two is stronger than stone walls.Damdin Sükhbaatar (2 February 1893 – 20 February 1923) was a Mongolian communist revolutionary, founding member of the Mongolian People's Party, and leader of the Mongolian partisan army that took Khüree during the Outer Mongolian Revolution of 1921.
