Reverse
The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below, on two lines, are the denomination (with six-pointed stars to the left and right) and the monetary unit: 15 KOPĒEKЪ. Below this is a decorative divider element consisting of two oppositely directed arrows with five dots between them, the dots forming a cross. Slightly below this ornate divider is the coin's year of mintage '1883', beneath which 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 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 eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned above and between them. All three 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 this 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, and Vladimir. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in its left talon is an orb. Below the right talon is the letter 'D', and below the left talon is the letter 'S'. These are the initials of mintmaster Dmitry Sabaneev. The rim is decorated with denticles.
