Reverse
In the upper part of the reverse is the crown of the Russian Empire. Below it, the denomination and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: 25 KOPĒEKЪ. Next is a divider element consisting of two oppositely directed lines with a bordered dot between them. Slightly below the ornamental divider is the coin's year of minting '1855', beneath which is the abbreviation 'S.P.B.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). In the left part of the coin along the edge is a laurel branch, and in the right part an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied together with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. Raised denticles are minted around the entire edge of the coin.
Obverse
In the central part is 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). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. On the wings are depicted the titular coats of arms: on the right — Kazan, Astrakhan, and Siberian; on the left — Polish, Taurican, and Finnish. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left — an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'H', under the left — the letter 'I'. The initials of Mintmaster Nikolai Iossa. The central part is separated from the rest of the design by a circle of dots. Outside the circle is the text: CHISTAGO SEREBRA 1 ZOLOTNIK 5 1/4 DOLĒI (Pure Silver 1 Zolotnik 5 1/4 Dolya), divided at the top by an eight-petaled flower. The rim is decorated with short denticles.
