Reverse
The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below, on two lines, are the denomination and monetary unit: 1 KOPEYKA. Under the inscription is a decorative line, and below that, the mint mark 'K.M.'. On the left side of the coin, along the edge, is a laurel branch, and on the right, an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied with a ribbon forming a neat bow. Raised dots are stamped around the entire edge of the coin.
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, the letter 'B'. These are the initials of mintmaster Petr Berezovsky. Below is the year of mintage '1811.'. The rim is decorated with dots.
