Reverse
The central part features the denomination "POLTINA". 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 raised dot between them. Slightly below this divider is the coin's year of issue "1861", 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, the knot of which forms a bow. The entire edge of the coin is stamped with raised denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned above and between them. All are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, a shield depicting St. George the Victorious slaying a dragon with a spear. Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing) are: Kazan, Polish, Tauride, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left an orb. Below the right talon is the letter "M", below the left is the letter "I". These are the initials of mintmaster Mikhail Ivanov. The center of the obverse is enclosed within a braided border. At the top is an eight-petalled flower, visually indicating the start of the inscription: CHISTAGO SEREBRA 2 ZOLOTNIKA 10 1/2 DOLI (Pure Silver 2 Zolotniks 10 1/2 Dolias). The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
