Reverse
The central part features the denomination '20' flanked left and right by six-pointed stars. Above the denomination is the Imperial crown. Below the denomination is the name of the monetary unit 'КОПѢЕКЪ'. Further below is the year of mintage '1861', visually separated from the upper part of the coin by two curved lines with five dots between them. Below the year is the abbreviation 'С.П.Б.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the rim on the left is a laurel branch, and on the right an oak branch. The branches are intertwined at the bottom by a ribbon forming a bow. The coin's edge is decorated 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 eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed above and between the heads. All are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, depicting St. George the Victorious slaying a dragon with a spear. Surrounding 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 the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left an orb. Below the right talon is the letter 'Ф', below the left is the letter 'Б'. These are the initials of mintmaster Fedor Blum. The edge is decorated with denticles.
