Reverse
The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below it, the denomination (with six-pointed stars to the left and right) and the monetary unit are inscribed on two lines: 15 KOPIEKЪ. Below this is a divider element consisting of two oppositely directed arrows with five dots between them, forming a cross. Beneath the divider is the year of mintage '1862'. Under the year is the abbreviation 'S.P.B.' (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 at the base with a ribbon forming a neat bow. The entire edge of the coin is struck 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 eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned above and between them, all connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew. On the eagle's chest is the Moscow coat of arms, depicting St. George the Victorious slaying a dragon with a spear, within a shield surrounded by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing) are: Kazan, Polish, Taurida, 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 'M', under the left talon is the letter 'I'. These are the initials of mintmaster Mikhail Ivanov. The rim is decorated with denticles.
