Coins-Tsarist Coins

Reverse
The central part features the denomination—the numeral 2. Above the numeral is the Imperial crown. Below the denomination is a two-line inscription: KOPEYKI. Beneath this is a line, under which are the letters I.M. (Izora Mint). Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge is an oak branch. The bases of the branches are tied together with a ribbon. The coin's edge is decorated with a beaded border.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is above and between them. On the eagle's breast is the coat of arms of Moscow—a shield depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback, slaying a serpent with a long spear (the serpent's head is to the right). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'P', under the left is the letter 'S'. These are the initials of mintmaster Pavel Stupitsyn. Below is the year of mintage '1811.'. The border is decorated with beads.
