Reverse
The central part features the denomination 'MONETA RUBL' (COIN RUBLE) in two lines. Above the denomination is the Crown of the Russian Empire. Below the denomination is a decorative divider consisting of two oppositely directed ornamental lines with a small circle between them, featuring a raised dot in its center. Slightly below this ornamental divider is the coin's year of minting '1837', 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 bases of the branches are tied together with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. The entire edge of the coin is stamped with protruding denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is separated from the edge by a beaded border. Inside the border is a double-headed eagle, the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. Both eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned between them. All three crowns are connected by a ribbon. 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 coats of arms on the wings are: Left wing: Polish, Tauridian, Finnish. Right wing: Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberian. In the right talon is a scepter, and below it the letter 'N'. In the left talon is an orb, and below it the letter 'G'. Together, the letters form the initials of mintmaster Nikolai Grachev. In the upper part of the obverse is an eight-pointed star with a dot inside, visually indicating the start of the inscription line: 'CHISTAGO SEREBRA 4 ZOLOTNIKA 21 DOLIA' (OF PURE SILVER 4 ZOLOTNIKS 21 PARTS). The rim is adorned with denticles pointing towards the center.
