Reverse description	Right-facing portrait bust of Vasily Ivanovich Abaev, the renowned Ossetian-Russian linguist and scholar, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. To the left of the portrait, a facsimile of Abaev's handwritten signature appears above the dates 1900 – 2001, which mark his birth and death years. In the upper left field, the words Iryston \| Iriston / yvzag \| ævzag / farn \| farnæ are inscribed in paired Ossetian and Latin script, referencing key concepts from Abaev's scholarly legacy. The bold Cyrillic inscription АБАЙТЫ ВАСО runs vertically along the right side of the coin in large raised letters. The design is executed in a clean, neoclassical medallic style with a sharp contrast between the frosted portrait and the polished background.
