Reverse
The central part features the denomination 'MONETA RUBL' (COIN RUBLE) in two lines. Above the denomination is the Crown of the Russian Empire. Below the denomination is a decorative divider consisting of two oppositely directed ornamental lines with a small raised dot between them. Slightly below this divider is the coin's year of mintage '1855', beneath which is the abbreviation 'S.P.B.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge is an oak branch. The bases of the branches are tied together with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. The entire edge of the coin is stamped with protruding denticles.
Obverse
The central part depicts the State Emblem of the Russian Empire – a double-headed eagle, its heads crowned with two coronets, and a third, larger crown above 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 Apostle the First-Called. On the wings are the titular coats of arms: on the right – those of Kazan, Astrakhan, and Siberia; on the left – those of Poland, Taurida, and Finland. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left – an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'N', under the left – the letter 'I'. The initials of Mintmaster Nikolai Iossa. The center of the obverse is enclosed within a braided rim. At the top is an eight-petaled flower, visually indicating the start of the inscription: CHISTAGO SEREBRA 4 ZOLOTNIKA 21 DOLYA (PURE SILVER 4 ZOLOTNIKS 21 PARTS). The rim is decorated with short denticles.
