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 positioned above and between them. On the eagle's chest is the coat of arms of Moscow—an oval shield depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback, slaying a serpent with a long spear (the serpent's head is to the right). A chain bearing the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called encircles the shield. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Above the eagle is the mint year '•1756•'. Around the circumference, along the rim, is the text: MON•TSENA•RUBL' (Coin Price Ruble).
Obverse The center of the obverse features the right-facing profile of the Russian Empress Elizabeth I Petrovna. An inscription arches from left to right along the edge: B•M•ELISAVET•I•IMP•ISAMOD•VSEROS (By the Grace of God, Elizabeth I, Empress and Autocrat of All Russia).
