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: 15 КОПѢЕКЪ. Below that is a divider element consisting of two oppositely directed arrows with five dots between them. The five dots form a cross. Under the divider is the year of minting '1878'. Below the year 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 forming a neat bow. Raised denticles are struck 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 wear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned above and between the heads. All are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms — a shield depicting St. George the Victorious slaying a dragon (head to the left) 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, Tauride, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the right talon is a scepter, and below it the letter 'Н'. In the left talon is an orb, and below it the letter 'Ф'. Together the letters form the initials indicating Mintmaster Nikolai Follendorf. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
