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 placed 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. Under the right claw is the letter 'Ya', under the left claw is the letter 'I'. These are the initials of mintmaster Yakov Ivanov. Above the eagle is the year of minting—'1764'. Around the eagle, facing inward, is the text: MONETA•POLTINA•
Obverse
The center of the obverse features a right-facing profile portrait of the Russian Empress Catherine II. On the lower left part of the portrait, the initials 'T•I•' are struck, indicating the medallist Timofey Ivanov. In the lower part, beneath the portrait, is the abbreviation 'S P B' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the edge, in an arc from the lower left, runs the inscription: B•M•EKATERINA•II•IMP•ISAMOD•VSEROSS•
