The denomination (with stars on the left and right) and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: ⋆ 1 ⋆ KOPEYKA Below is a decorative divider consisting of two curved lines with a small circle between them. Beneath the lines is the mintmark 'S.P.B.'. The central part is separated from the rest of the design by a circle of dots. At the top, along the rim, is the incuse text: 1893 GODA (1893 YEAR). Further down, along the edge, is a wreath of laurel and oak branches. At the base, the branches are tied with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. - Obverse
The center of the obverse features the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, with a larger third crown 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 on the left). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing) are: Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Along the rim at the top and bottom are two semi-circular cartouches connected by a diamond-shaped ornament. The upper cartouche bears the raised inscription: MEDNAYA ROSSIISKAYA MONETA (COPPER RUSSIAN COIN). The lower cartouche has an incuse line over a ribbon: ODNA KOPEYKA (ONE KOPEK).
