Reverse
The center of the reverse is occupied by the coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle, both heads of which bear crowns. A third, larger crown is above and between them. On the eagle's chest 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). The shield is surrounded by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left an orb. Above the eagle is the mint year — '1740', divided by the large crown. Around the eagle, facing inward, is the text: MONETA POLTINA
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the right-facing profile of Empress Anna Ioannovna. In the lower part, below the portrait, is the abbreviation 'S P B' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Around the portrait is the text: B•M•ANNA•IMPERATRITSA•ISAMODERZHITSA•VSEROSSIISKAYA•
