  • 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—a shield depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback, slaying a serpent with a long spear (the serpent's head is to the right). The shield is surrounded by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Below the right talon is the letter 'Ya', and below the left, the letter 'A'. These are the initials of Mintmaster Yakov Afanasyev. Above the eagle is the year of mintage: '1785'. An inscription arcs from right to left around the state emblem: ПОЛꙊПОЛТИННИКЪ (HALF POLTINA). The rim is toothed.
  • Obverse
    The center of the obverse features a right-facing profile portrait of the Russian Empress Catherine II. In the lower part, beneath the portrait, is the abbreviation 'S P B' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the edge, an inscription arcs from the lower left: Б•М•ЕКАТЕРИНА•II•IМП•ИСАМОД•ВСЕРОСС• (By the Grace of God, Catherine II, Empress and Autocrat of All Russia). The rim is toothed.
