Reverse
The center of the reverse 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 dragon with a long spear (the dragon's head is to the left). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew 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 its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. The State Emblem is surrounded by a beaded circle. Outside this circle, along the rim, is the inscription: at the top, above the eagle—'IMPERIAL', at the bottom, below the eagle—'10 RUBLES IN GOLD. 1897 Y.'. The inscriptions are separated from each other by floral rosettes. The rim is decorated with denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse features the left-facing profile of Russian Emperor Nicholas II. Along the left edge, in an arc, is the inscription: 'B.M. NICHOLAS II EMPEROR'. Along the right edge is the continuation of the first inscription: 'AND AUTOCRAT OF ALL RUSSIA'. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
