Reverse
In the upper part of the reverse is the crown of the Russian Empire. Below it, the denomination and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: 20 КОПѢЕКЪ. Next is a divider element consisting of two oppositely directed lines with a bordered dot between them. Slightly below the ornamental divider is the coin's year of mintage '1853', beneath which is the abbreviation 'С.П.Б.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). In the left part of the coin, along the edge, is a laurel branch, and in the right part, an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied together with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. Raised denticles are struck around the entire edge of the coin.
Obverse
In the central part is 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 First-Called. On the wings are depicted the titular coats of arms: on the right — those of Kazan, Astrakhan, and Siberia; on the left — those of Poland, Taurida, and Finland. In the eagle's talons are a scepter and an orb. Beneath the talons are the initials 'H' and 'I', indicating Mintmaster Nikolai Iossa. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
