Consider going on /r/translate:

But bear in mind that apparently Mongolian is a language only spoken by a few million people, and most of them probably are more familiar with the Cyrillic script Mongolian than the Mongolian script version.
Thanks for the hint I got the translations and 3 out of the 4 transcriptions

​No problem, I'm more surprised if anything that someone understands Mongolian there.

I might try my luck with Tamil and Sinhala there soon, for the Ceylon coins I added yesterday.
I have a Mongolian colleague at work, but even he struggles to read that script :)

It's only used in Inner Mongolia officially everywhere else it's cyrillic.
I have found a converter, now I only have to find the right cyrillic words for "cinggis qaghan-u dologhan jaghu ghucin ghurbatughu on" 8~

Yes it's the dating system introduced by Kublai Khan, his grandson and it starts in 1205. Never heard of it before I researched the coins.

​There's even a guy there that knows Manchu so I'm not surprised about the Mongolian.
I think I know who you're talking about.

Makes my (above average, for a westerner) knowledge of Chinese characters look like kindergarten stuff. 8~
