In the central part — text: GROSZE. Above the inscription — the denomination numeral 3. Below the inscription — the year of minting '1839'. In the left part of the reverse is a laurel branch, and in the right part an oak branch. Below, the branches are tied together with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. - Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by a double-headed eagle — the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is between them. All three crowns are connected by a ribbon. On the eagle's breast is the coat of arms of Moscow — a shield with St. George the Victorious on horseback, slaying a serpent with a long spear (the serpent's head is to the right). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. Heraldic shields on the wings: Left wing: Polish, Tauric, Finnish. Right wing: Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberian. In the right talon is a scepter, and above it the letter 'M'. In the left talon is an orb, and above it the letter 'W'. Together the letters indicate the Warsaw Mint.
