The denomination (with asterisks to the left and right) and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: ⋆ 1 ⋆ KOPEYKA Below is a decorative divider in the form of two curved lines with a small circle between them. Under the lines is the mint mark 'S.P.B.'. The central part is separated from the rest of the design by a circle of dots. At the top, along the edge, is the incuse text: 1888 GODA (1888 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 third, larger 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 to the left). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. 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 edge at the top and bottom are two semicircular cartouches, connected by a diamond-shaped ornament. The upper cartouche bears the raised inscription: MEDNAYA ROSSISKAYA MONETA (COPPER RUSSIAN COIN). The lower cartouche, over a ribbon, bears the incuse line: ODNA KOPEYKA (ONE KOPEK).
