Reverse
The central part features the denomination 'MONETA POLTINA' in two lines. Above the denomination is the Crown of the Russian Empire. Below the denomination is a decorative divider consisting of two opposing ornamental lines with a small circle between them, featuring a raised dot in the center. Slightly below this divider is the coin's year of issue '1849', beneath which is the abbreviation 'S.P.B.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge is an oak branch. The branches are tied together at the base with a ribbon forming a bow. The entire edge of the coin is adorned with raised denticles.
Obverse
The central part depicts the State Emblem of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle, its heads crowned with two coronets, and a third, larger crown above 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 the First-Called. The titular coats of arms are displayed on the wings: on the right — those of Kazan, Astrakhan, and Siberia; on the left — those of Poland, Taurida, and Finland. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left — an orb. Below the right talon is the letter 'P', and below the left talon is the letter 'A'. These are the initials of mintmaster Pavel Alekseev. The center of the obverse is enclosed within a braided border. At the top is an eight-petaled flower, visually indicating the start of the inscription: CHISTAGO SEREBRA 2 ZOLOTNIKA 10 1/2 DOLY (Pure Silver 2 Zolotniks 10 1/2 Dolya). The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
