The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is 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). Around the 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 its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left—an orb. Along the edge at the top and bottom are two semicircular cartouches, connected by a diamond-shaped ornament. The upper cartouche bears the raised inscription: MĒDNAYA ROSSĪYSKAYA MONETA The lower cartouche, over a ribbon, bears the incuse line: ODNA KOPĒYKA
