| Additional information |
South Ossetia has no internationally recognized central bank in any functional sense — the territory operates almost entirely on the Russian ruble under Moscow's economic umbrella. The "National Bank of South Ossetia" issues coins like this one as a revenue exercise rather than a monetary function, with pieces sold to collectors rather than circulated. Hadji-Umar Mamsurov was a Soviet Hero and NKVD general from North Ossetia, most notable for commanding a partisan unit behind German lines during Operation Barbarossa.
