Reverse
The center of the reverse is occupied by the coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle, both heads of which bear crowns. A third, larger crown is above and between 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. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left an orb. Below the right talon is the letter "Ya", below the left is the letter "I". These are the initials of mintmaster Yakov Ivanov. Above the eagle is the year of minting—"1766". Around the eagle, facing inward, is the text: MONETA•RUBLE•
Obverse
In the central part is the right-facing profile of Empress Catherine II, from the original design. Around the portrait is the inscription: B•M•EKATERINA•II•IMP•ISAMOD•VSEROS. Below the portrait is the abbreviation "S P B" (Saint Petersburg Mint).
