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). The shield is surrounded by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, in the left—an orb. Below the right talon is the letter 'I', below the left—the letter 'M'. The initials of mintmaster Ivan Markov. Above the eagle is the year of minting—'1754'. Around the eagle, facing inward, is the text: MONETA•RUBLE•
Obverse
The center of the obverse features the right-facing profile of Russian Empress Elizabeth I Petrovna. From left to right along the edge in an arc runs the inscription: B•M•ELISAVET•I•IMP: ISAMOD: VSEROS. In the truncation of the arm—the letters 'B.S.', the initials of the medallist Benjamin Scott. In the lower part, below the portrait, is the abbreviation 'S P B' (Saint Petersburg Mint).
