Obverse description The national coat of arms of the Kyrgyz Republic occupies the central field, depicting a stylised golden eagle displayed beneath a rising sun with radiating rays over a mountain landscape, the whole enclosed within a wreath of wheat and cotton. The Cyrillic legend КЫРГЫЗ arcs along the upper rim and РЕСПУБЛИКАСЫ along the lower rim of the inner circle, forming the full name of the issuing state. The date 2008 appears in the exergue below the coat of arms, flanked by decorative Kyrgyz ornamental motifs.
