The central part features a three-line inscription: 3 RUBLES SILVER. The denomination numeral is flanked on both sides by floral rosettes.

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 marking the beginning of the line: 2 ZOL• 41 DOL• 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.
