The upper part of the coin features the imperial crown. Below it, a four-line inscription reads: CHISTAGO SEREBRA 2 ZOLOTN= 10 1/2 DOLY (Pure Silver 2 Zolotniks = 10 1/2 Dolya). Beneath this is a straight line and the designation 'S.P.B.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the rim on the left is a laurel branch, and on the right an oak branch. The branches are tied together at the bottom with a ribbon. The edge of the coin is decorated with raised denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the small coat of arms of the Russian Empire – a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a larger third 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 Apostle. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left – an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'N', under the left – the letter 'G'. These are the initials of mintmaster Nikolai Grachev. To the left of the coat of arms is the circular inscription 'MONETA', to the right – 'POLTINA'. Below the initials is the year of mintage '1826'. The inscriptions are separated from each other by three six-pointed stars. The rim is decorated with short denticles pointing towards the center.
