The central part features an inscription—the word "KOPEIKA". Above the inscription is the numeral "1.". Above the numeral is the counting mark for a kopeck—a bordered dot placed on a five-line rim running along the edge. Below the inscription is a decorative line, and beneath it—the year of minting "1809.". - Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed above and between the heads. 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 right). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. Above the crown is the counting mark for a kopeck—a bordered dot placed on a rim of five lines running near the edge. In the right talon is a scepter, and below it the letter "K". In the left talon is an orb, and below it the letter "M". Together the letters indicate the Suzun Mint.
