The upper legend in Ossetic Cyrillic script reads РЕСПУБЛИКÆ ХУССАР ИРЫСТОН, while the lower legend in Russian reads РЕСПУБЛИКА ЮЖНАЯ ОСЕТИЯ, both arcing along the rim. The date 2013 appears in the lower portion of the central device beneath the leopard. Decorative spiral ornaments flank the lower legend at the three and nine o'clock positions. |
