| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-quarter facing bust of Ivan Davidovich Tskhovrebov in Soviet military uniform, wearing a peaked cap bearing a star, with medals visible on his chest, set against a mirrored black field. To the left, an Order of Glory star is depicted with a submachine gun across its face, suspended from a ribbon bar, with the years 1913 and 1943 inscribed diagonally along diagonal striped lines, and a five-pointed star at upper left. The subject's name ЦХОВРЕБОВ ИВАН ДАВИДОВИЧ is inscribed in Cyrillic along the right arc of the field. The composition is rendered in high relief with sharp cameo contrast characteristic of proof coinage. |

| Additional information |
South Ossetia has no internationally recognized central bank in any functional sense — the "National Bank of the Republic of South Ossetia" issues collectibles that circulate nowhere and are backed by nothing, produced entirely for the numismatic export market. The territory itself has operated on the Russian ruble since 2008. Zarin Ivan Tskhovrebov was a prominent 19th-century Ossetian public figure and merchant, but his appearance on a coin from this issuer says more about the commemorative novelty trade than about any coherent monetary or cultural policy.
