Reverse The central part features an inscription — the word 'POLUSHKA'. Above the inscription is the numeral '1.'. Below the inscription is a decorative line, and beneath it, the minting year '1805.'. A double linear border runs along the edge of the coin.
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 larger third crown is positioned between them. 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 Apostle the First-Called. In its right talon is a scepter, and below it the letter 'K'. In its left talon is an orb, and below it the letter 'M'. Together, the letters indicate the Suzun Mint. A double linear border runs along the edge.
