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 the First-Called. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left an orb. Above the eagle is the mint year — '1740', divided by the large crown. Around the eagle, facing inward, is the text: МОНЕТА РУБЛЬ (COIN ROUBLE) divided by the eagle's tail.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the right-facing profile of Empress Anna Ioannovna. Around the portrait is the text: Б•М•АННА IМПЕРАТРИЦА IСАМОДЕРЖИЦА ВСЕРОСИСКАЯ (BY THE GRACE OF GOD ANNA EMPRESS AND AUTOCRAT OF ALL RUSSIA)
