| Obverse description | Against a polished black field, the central device features the state emblem of the Republic of South Ossetia — a snow leopard passant before a mountain landscape — set within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by the bilingual legend in Ossetian and Russian. The denomination '25 ЗÆРИНЫ' appears prominently in the upper field in large raised lettering, while 'НАЦИОНАЛОН БАНК' (National Bank) is inscribed across the lower field. The year '2025', mint mark 'ММД', and fineness notation 'Ag 925 31,1' are inscribed at the base of the central emblem. The outer border is decorated with a ring of ornamental rosette motifs on the black field, and the rim is reeded. |

| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the Ossetian poet and literary scholar Nafi Djoussoïty (1925–2017), depicting his bust in left-facing profile relief set within a circular medallion to the left of the field. At centre, a vertically oriented torch with a coloured red-and-orange enamelled flame rises from the lower field, symbolising enlightenment and cultural heritage. To the right, a lyre encircled by a laurel wreath represents his literary contribution, flanked by the dates '1925' and '2017' denoting his birth and death years. The name 'НАФИ' appears in bold raised lettering at the top of the field, and 'ДЖУСОЙТЫ' is inscribed along the lower arc. The background is a polished black field with a textured surround at the upper and lower margins. |
