This small silver coin was in circulation on the territory of the Ottoman Empire and its neighboring states in the 14th - 19th centuries. Starting from 1623 until 1930, a silver Turkish coin was also in circulation - a pair. Then it was used exclusively as a counting unit, 1/40 kurush.

History reference:
The Mongolian Tugrik is the currency of Mongolia. Among bonists and collectors, modern Mongolian money is not a common collectible, since individual coins or banknotes of this country are usually not... valued very highly. They are not so difficult to find and purchase in good condition. For this reason, the money of Mongolia is collected precisely in the collection, where there are banknotes of all periods and years of issue. Mongolian Tugriks are fairly standard, not to say that they are very similar to other currencies, they do not have special protection, that is, they are quite stable and do not contain anything special in their design that could distinguish their currency from the rest. Naturally, all the money is of a fairly stable size, as well as the color scheme of the currency is quite primitive, in addition, it is worth pointing out that the face value is indicated on both sides, from both angles. That is, there are four values of the face value on the banknote. And yet, many people suffer from the fact that they cannot distinguish face value by a particular color or size.
