The AH15 (1925) Mongolia 50 Möngö is an important early issue from Mongolia's first modern national coinage, struck at the Leningrad (St. Petersburg) Mint in the Soviet Union. Cataloged as L&M-620 and KM-7, the coin is part of the landmark 1925 series that introduced Mongolia's modern decimal currency.
Struck in 90% silver, the 50 Möngö weighs approximately 10 grams and measures 27 mm in diameter. The obverse features the Mongolian Soyombo symbol with traditional Mongolian script and the AH15 date, while the reverse displays the 50 Möngö denomination within a decorative wreath. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect Mongolia's early modern monetary system following the establishment of the People's Republic.
The issue had a reported mintage of approximately 920,000 pieces, making it a historically significant and collectible early Mongolian silver coin.
This particular example is graded MS61 by PCGS and is housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder.
The supplied population figures show 185 examples graded MS61 and 307 graded higher.
The holder also incorporates NFC anti-counterfeiting technology, providing an additional layer of security and authentication.
The 1925 50 Möngö is especially popular with collectors because it belongs to Mongolia's first modern circulating coinage series. Examples in Mint State are sought after for their historical importance, silver content, and attractive traditional Mongolian designs.
With its early 1925 date, 90% silver composition, classic Soyombo design, PCGS MS61 grade, and Gold Shield certification, this Mongolia 50 Möngö is an excellent addition to a collection of Mongolian coinage, early 20th-century Asian silver, or world coins.
