The central part features the denomination in two lines: ДЕНГА. Below, the year of mintage is indicated in Old Church Slavonic: 1717. The surrounding text reads: ВСЕѦ РОСIИ ПОВЕЛIТЕЛЬ. The rim resembles a twisted rope—the traditional denticles are positioned at an angle to the ground. - Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, with a larger third crown between them. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. The surrounding inscription reads: ЦРЬ ПЕТРЬ АЛЕѯIЕВИЧЪ. The rim consists of dots.
