Reverse
The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below, on two lines, are the denomination (with six-pointed stars to the left and right) and the monetary unit: 15 KOPEKS. Below this is a divider element consisting of two oppositely directed arrows with five dots between them. The five dots form a cross. Beneath the divider is the year of minting '1916'. Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge is an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied together with a ribbon forming a neat bow. The entire edge of the coin is struck with raised denticles.
Obverse
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 positioned above and between them. All are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, a shield depicting St. George the Victorious slaying a dragon with a spear. 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): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'V', under the left – the letter 'S'. The initials of Mintmaster Viktor Smirnov. The rim is decorated with denticles.
