Reverse
The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below it, on two lines, are the denomination (with six-pointed stars to the left and right) and the monetary unit: 20 КОПѢЕКЪ. 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 minting '1862'. Under the year 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, an oak branch. The branches are tied at the base with a ribbon forming a neat bow. The entire edge of the coin is surrounded by 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 larger third crown is positioned above and between them, all connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback 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, and Vladimir. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left, an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'М', and under the left talon, the letter 'И' – the initials of mintmaster Mikhail Ivanov. The rim is decorated with denticles.
