The center of the obverse features a double-headed eagle — the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. Both eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is 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). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. Heraldic shields on the wings: Left wing: Polish, Taurican, Finnish. Right wing: Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberian. The right talon holds a scepter, and the left holds an orb. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing inward.
