The central part features the denomination — the number 25. The denomination is enclosed within a dotted circle. Outside the circle is an inscription: at the top in a semicircle — 'ROSSIISKAYA MONETA', at the bottom in a semicircle — '25 KOPEKS'. The inscriptions are separated from each other by two six-pointed stars.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed above and between them. All are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms — a shield depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback, spearing a dragon. Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'E', under the left — the letter 'B'. Together these initials indicate the mintmaster Elikum Babayants. Below the central image is the year of mintage — '1911'.
