Reverse
The upper part of the coin features the imperial crown. Below it, in the center, is the denomination numeral 2. Further down is the name of the monetary unit, split into two lines: KOPѢЙ KI. Below that is a straight horizontal line and the abbreviation "E.M." (Yekaterinburg Mint). On the left side of the reverse near the edge is a laurel branch, and on the right side is an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied together with a ribbon. Raised dots are stamped along the coin's edge.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the small coat of arms of the Russian Empire - a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is above and between the heads. 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 Apostle the First-Called. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Under the right talon is the letter "H", under the left is the letter "M". These are the initials of mintmaster Nikolay Mundt. Below the initials is the year of minting "1812". The rim is decorated with dots.
