Reverse
The central part features the denomination 'РУБЛЬ' (RUBLE). 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. Below the divider is the year of mintage '1885'. Below the year is the abbreviation 'С.П.Б.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge is an oak branch. The branches are tied together at the base with a ribbon forming a neat bow. The entire edge of the coin is stamped 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 bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned above and between them. All three are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. On the eagle's chest is the Moscow coat of arms, depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback slaying a dragon with a spear, within a shield. The shield is surrounded by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing) are: 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. Below the right talon is the letter 'A', and below the left talon is the letter 'G'. These are the initials of mintmaster Apollon Grasgoff. The center of the obverse is enclosed within a thin, continuous braided border. At the top is an eight-petaled rosette, visually indicating the start of the inscription: ЧИСТАГО СЕРЕБРА 4 ЗОЛОТНИКА 21 ДОЛЯ (PURE SILVER 4 ZOLOTNIKS 21 PARTS). The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
