Reverse
The imperial crown is positioned at the top of the coin. 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 mintmark 'S.P.B.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the rim, a laurel branch is on the left and an oak branch on the right. The branches are tied together at the bottom with a ribbon. The edge of the coin is decorated with raised denticles.
Obverse
The central part features the State Emblem of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle with its wings spread and lowered. 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). The heraldic shield, above the eagle's heads, is crowned by the imperial crown. The eagle holds thunderbolts and a torch in its right talon and a laurel wreath in its left, both entwined with the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. Below the ribbon are the letters: 'N' on the left and 'G' on the right—the initials of Mintmaster Nikolai Grachev. Above the eagle is the denomination designation—the circular inscription 'MONETA POLTINA.' (Coin Poltina) separated by a six-pointed star. Below the eagle is the year of minting '1826 GODA.' (1826 Year). The rim is adorned with short denticles.
