Reverse

The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below it, the denomination and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: 20 KOPĒEKЪ. This is followed by a divider element consisting of two oppositely directed lines with a bordered dot between them. Slightly below the ornamental divider is the coin's year of mintage '1850', beneath which is the abbreviation 'S.P.B.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). In the left part of the coin, along the edge, is a laurel branch, and in the right part, an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied together with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. Raised denticles are minted around the entire edge of the coin.

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 wear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned 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). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. The coats of arms on the wings: Left wing: Polish, Taurida, Finnish. Right wing: Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberian. In the right talon is a scepter, and below it the letter 'P'. In the left talon is an orb, and below it the letter 'A'. Together the letters form the initials indicating Mintmaster Pavel Alekseev. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
