Reverse
The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below, on two lines, is the denomination (with six-pointed stars on the left and right) and the monetary unit: 25 КОПѢЕКЪ. Next is a divider element consisting of two elongated, oppositely directed figures with a dot between them. Slightly below the ornamental divider is the coin's year of minting '1883', beneath which is the abbreviation 'С.П.Б.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). On the left side of the coin, along the edge, is a laurel branch, and on the right, an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. Raised denticles are minted around the entire edge of the coin.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire – a double-headed eagle. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned above and between the heads. They are all 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 slaying a dragon with a spear. Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): 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 'A', under the left – the letter 'G'. The initials of mintmaster Apollon Grasgof. The central part is separated from the rest of the design by a circle of dots. Beyond the circle is the text: ЧИСТАГО СЕРЕБРА 1 ЗОЛОТНИК 5 1/4 ДОЛЕЙ (Pure Silver 1 Zolotnik 5 1/4 Dolya), divided at the top by an eight-petaled flower. The rim is decorated with short denticles.
