The central part features the denomination 20, flanked left and right by six-pointed stars. Above the coin's value is the Imperial crown. Below the denomination is the name of the monetary unit "KOPIEK". Further down is the year of minting "1861", visually separated from the upper part of the coin by two ornamental lines with five dots between them. Below the year is the abbreviation "S.P.B." (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the edge on the left is a laurel branch, and on the right an oak branch. The branches are intertwined at the bottom by a ribbon forming a bow. The rim of the coin is decorated with raised denticles.
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. 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 with a spear. Around 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 eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left an orb. The rim is decorated with denticles.
