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). The shield is surrounded by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left an orb. Below the right talon is the letter 'M', below the left talon is the letter 'M'. The initials of mintmaster Mikhail Mikhailov. Above the eagle is the year of mintage—'1783'.
