Reverse
The central part features a four-line inscription: 20КОПѢЕКЪ40GROSZY. Below the inscription is the year of mintage — 1850. On the left side near the edge of the coin's reverse is a laurel branch, and on the right — an oak branch. At the base, the branches are intertwined with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. The rim is decorated with raised denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by a double-headed eagle — the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is between them. All three crowns are connected by a ribbon. 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. Heraldic shields on the wings: Left wing: Polish, Taurian, Finnish. Right wing: Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberian. In the right talon is a scepter, and below it the initial 'M'. In the left talon is an orb, and below it the initial 'W'. Together, the letters indicate the Warsaw Mint. The coin's rim consists of denticles.
