Reverse
The denomination (with asterisks to the left and right) and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: ⋆ 3 ⋆ RUBLYA. Below is a separator element consisting of two elongated, oppositely directed figures with a dot between them. Under the separator is the year of mintage '1870'. Below the year is the abbreviation 'S.P.B.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Between the edge and the center of the coin is a rim of closely spaced dots. In the upper part of the reverse is a floral rosette, visually marking the beginning of the inscription: CHISTAGO ZOLOTA 81 DOLYA. The inscription is divided. The coin's edge is decorated with a rim of sharp denticles pointing towards the center.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire – a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed 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 left). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the right talon is a scepter, and below it the letter 'N'. In the left talon is an orb, and below it the letter 'I'. Together the letters form the initials of mintmaster Nikolai Iossa. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
