Reverse The central part features the denomination '15', flanked left and right by six-pointed stars. Above the coin's value is the Imperial crown. Below the denomination is the name of the monetary unit 'КОПѢЕКЪ'. Further down is the year of mintage '1861', visually separated from the upper part of the coin by two ornamental lines with five dots between them. Below the year is the abbreviation 'С.П.Б.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the rim on the left is a laurel branch, and on the right an oak branch. The branches are intertwined at the bottom by a ribbon forming a bow. The coin's rim is decorated with raised denticles.
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 the Apostle. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, a shield depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback slaying a dragon with a spear. Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. 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. The rim is decorated with denticles.
