Coins-Tsarist Coins

Reverse
In the central part, an inscription—the word "KOPEIKA". Above the inscription—the numeral "1.". Above the numeral is the counting mark for a kopeck—a bordered dot placed on a five-line rim running along the edge. Below the inscription—a decorative line, under it—the year of minting "1804.". Below the date is the mintmark of the Yekaterinburg Mint—the letters "EM". The border is decorated with denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is above and between the heads. 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 First-Called. Above the crown is the counting mark for a kopeck—a bordered dot placed on a rim of five lines. The border is decorated with denticles.
