The eagle holds thunderbolts and a torch in its right talon and a laurel wreath in its left, intertwined with the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. Under the ribbon are the letters: on the left "F", on the right "Kh". The initials of mintmaster Fyodor Khvoshchinsky. Under the initials is the year of minting "1833."
