The central part features an inscription in three lines: 3 RUBLES SILVER. The denomination numeral is flanked on both sides by floral rosettes. Below the inscription is a decorative divider consisting of two opposing ornamental lines with a small circle between them, featuring a raised dot in its center. Below the divider is the year of mintage 1837. Below the year is the abbreviation S.P.B. (Saint Petersburg Mint). The edge of the coin is separated from the center by a circle of inward-pointing denticles. Near the upper edge of the coin is a four-leaf clover, visually indicating the start of the line: 2 ZOL• 41 DOL• CHISTOY URALSKOY PLATINY (2 Zolotniks 41 Dolya of Pure Ural Platinum).

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. The coats of arms on the wings: Left wing: Polish, Taurican, Finnish. Right wing: Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberian. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left an orb. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
