Reverse
The denomination (with asterisks on the left and right) and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: ⋆ 3 ⋆ RUBLYA. Below is a divider element consisting of two elongated, oppositely directed figures with a dot between them. Under the divider is the year of minting "1869". Below the year is the abbreviation "S.P.B." (Saint Petersburg Mint). A border of closely spaced dots is struck between the edge and the center of the coin. In the upper part of the reverse is a floral rosette, visually indicating the beginning of the inscription: CHISTAGO ZOLOTA 81 DOLYA. The inscription is divided. The coin's edge is decorated with a rim of sharp teeth pointing towards the center.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire – a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed between them. All three crowns are connected by a ribbon. 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 left). The shield is surrounded by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the right talon is a scepter, and below it the letter "Н". In the left talon is an orb, and below it the letter "I". Together the letters form the initials of mintmaster Nikolai Iossa. The rim is decorated with teeth pointing towards the center.
