The denomination (with stars on the left and right) and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: ⋆3⋆КОПѢЙКИ Below is a decorative divider in the form of two curved lines with a small circle between them. Under the divider is the mint mark 'С.П.Б.'. The central part is separated from the rest of the design by a circle of dots. At the top, in a semicircle, is the incused text: 1899 ГОДА Below, along the edge, is a wreath of laurel and oak branches.

The center of the obverse features the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is between them. All three crowns are connected by a ribbon. On the eagle's chest 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 on the left). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left — an orb. Along the edge at the top and bottom are two semicircular cartouches, connected by a diamond-shaped ornament. The upper cartouche bears the raised inscription: МѢДНАЯ РОССIИСКАЯ МОНЕТА On the lower cartouche, over a ribbon, is the incused line: ТРИ КОПѢИКИ
