Reverse
The center of the reverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned between them. All three crowns are connected by a ribbon. 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 left). Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Tauride, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. The State Emblem is surrounded by a beaded circle. Outside this circle, along the rim, is an inscription: at the top, above the eagle — '2 1/2 IMPERIAL', at the bottom, below the eagle — '25 RUBLES IN GOLD. 1896 Y.'. The inscriptions are separated from each other by floral rosettes. The rim is decorated with denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse features the left-facing profile of Russian Emperor Nicholas II. Along the left edge, in an arc, is the inscription: B.M. NICHOLAS II EMPEROR. Along the right edge is the continuation of the first inscription: AND AUTOCRAT OF ALL RUSSIA. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
