Reverse The central part features the denomination in two lines: POLUSHKA. Below the denomination is the year of mintage — 1721. Above the denomination is the inscription: VRP. The coin's edge is framed by a twisted dotted border.
Obverse The center of the obverse is occupied by the coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, with a larger third crown between them. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. The rim resembles a massive twisted rope (the teeth are angled relative to the field).
