Reverse
The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below, on two lines, is the denomination (with six-pointed stars to the left and right) and the monetary unit: 20 KOPĒEKЪ. Below that is a divider element consisting of two oppositely directed arrows with five dots between them. The five dots form a cross. Below the divider is the year of minting '1916'. On the left side near the edge of the coin's reverse is a laurel branch, and on the right is an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied together with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. The 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 heads of the eagle wear crowns, and a third, larger crown is above and between the heads. All are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. 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 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. Under the right talon is the letter 'V', under the left is the letter 'S'. The initials of Mintmaster Viktor Smirnov. The rim is decorated with denticles.
