On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback spearing a dragon. Around this shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left, an orb. Below the right talon is the letter "H", below the left is the letter "I". The initials of Mintmaster Nikolai Iossa. The center of the obverse is enclosed within a braided border. At the top is an eight-petaled flower, visually indicating the start of the inscription: PURE SILVER 2 ZOLOTNIKS 10 1/2 PARTS.
