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 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 the First-Called. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'Ya', under the left 'A'. These are the initials of mintmaster Yakov Afanasyev. Above the eagle is the year of minting—'1788'. Around the state coat of arms, following the curve from right to left, is the inscription: MONETA •POLTINA• The edge is toothed.
Obverse
The center of the obverse features the right-facing profile of the Russian Empress Catherine II. In the lower part, beneath the portrait, is the abbreviation 'S P B' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the edge, following the curve from the lower left, is the inscription: B•M•EKATERINA•II•IMP•ISAMOD•VSEROSS• The edge is toothed.
