On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback slaying a dragon with a spear. Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. The titular coats of arms are displayed on the wings: on the right – Kazan, Astrakhan, and Siberian; on the left – Polish, Taurican, and Finnish. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left – an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'A', under the left – the letter 'G'. These are the initials of mintmaster Alexander Gertov. The border is decorated with denticles.
