Reverse In the central part, there is an inscription—the word 'POLUSHKA'. Above the inscription—the digit '1.'. Below the inscription—a raised line, under it—the year of minting '1804.'. Below is the abbreviation 'E.M.' (Yekaterinburg Mint). Closer to the edge is a rim of two lines. The coin's edge is made of protruding denticles.
Obverse The center of the obverse is occupied by the small coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is above and between the heads. On the eagle's chest 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. Along the edge, around the eagle, runs a continuous rim of two lines. The edge is decorated with denticles.
