Reverse In the central part, an inscription — the word 'КОПЕЙКА' (KOPEYKA). Above the inscription — the numeral '1.'. Above the numeral is the counting mark for a kopeck — a bordered dot placed on a five-line rim running along the edge. Below the inscription — a decorative line, and below it — the year of minting '1802.'.
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 the heads. 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. Above the crown is the counting mark for a kopeck — a bordered dot placed on a rim of five lines running near the edge. In its right talon is a scepter, and in its left — an orb.
