Reverse
The central part features the denomination «РУБЛЬ» (RUBLE). Above the denomination is the Crown of the Russian Empire. Below the denomination is a decorative divider consisting of two opposing ornamental lines with a small raised dot between them. Slightly below this divider is the coin's year of issue «1860», beneath which is the abbreviation «С.П.Б.» (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge is an oak branch. The branches are tied together at the base with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. The entire edge of the coin is stamped 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 heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned above and between them. All are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. On the eagle's chest is the Moscow coat of arms – a shield depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback, spearing a dragon. Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing) are: Kazan, Polish, Tauride, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left an orb. Under the right talon is the letter «Ф», under the left – «Б». These are the initials of mintmaster Fedor Blum. The center of the obverse is enclosed within a thin, continuous braided border. At the top is an eight-petaled flower, visually indicating the start of the inscription: ЧИСТАГО СЕРЕБРА 4 ЗОЛОТНИКА 21 ДОЛЯ (PURE SILVER 4 ZOLOTNIKS 21 PARTS). The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
