In the central part is the monogram of Catherine II. Above the monogram is the imperial crown. On both sides of the monogram are the digits of the coin's year of issue: on the left — '17', and on the right the second part — '90'. In the left part of the coin, a laurel branch runs along the circumference near the rim, and in the right part, a palm branch. At the base, the branches are tied with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. The coin's border is made in the form of denticles. - Obverse
In the central part of the obverse, St. George the Victorious on horseback, slaying a serpent with a long spear (the serpent's head is on the right). Between the horse and the serpent, at a distance from each other, are the letters 'E' and 'M' (Yekaterinburg Mint). At the lower edge is a semicircular ribbon with the inscription: DVE • KOPEIKI
