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 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). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, in the left an orb. Under the right talon is the letter "Ya", under the left the letter "I". The initials of mintmaster Yakov Ivanov. Above the eagle is the year of mintage—"1752". Around the eagle, facing inward, is the text: MONETA•POLTINA•
Obverse The center of the obverse features the right-facing profile of Russian Empress Elizabeth I Petrovna. Below is the abbreviation "S P B" (Saint Petersburg Mint). From left to right along the edge in an arc runs the inscription: B•M•ELISAVET•I•IMP: ISAMOD: VSEROS
