Reverse The central part features the denomination in two lines: ДЕНГА. Below it, the year of mintage is indicated in Old Church Slavonic: 1712. The inscription around the image reads: ВСЕѦ РОСIИ ПОВЕЛIТЕЛЬ (RULER OF ALL RUSSIA). The rim resembles twisted rope—the traditional denticles are positioned at an angle.
Obverse The center of the obverse is occupied by the coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, with a larger third crown between them. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. The inscription around the image reads: ЦРЬ ПЕТРЪ АЛЕЗIЕВIЧЪ (TSAR PETER ALEXEEVICH). The rim is decorated with dots.
