Reverse
The upper part of the coin features the crown of the Russian Empire. The central part is stamped with the denomination—the number 10. Below the number is the name of the monetary unit 'KOPѢEКЪ'. Below that is a line, under which is the abbreviation 'S.P.B.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). On the left side of the coin, along the edge, is a laurel branch, and on the right, an oak branch. The bases of the branches are tied together with a ribbon. Raised denticles are stamped along the coin's edge.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed 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). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Below the right talon is the letter 'P', below the left talon is the letter 'S'. These are the initials of mintmaster Pavel Stupitsyn. Below the initials is the year of mintage '1820.'. The rim is decorated with denticles.
