Reverse
The central part features the denomination "MONETA RUBL" in two lines. Above the denomination is the Crown of the Russian Empire. Below the denomination is a decorative divider consisting of two oppositely curved lines with a small raised dot between them. Slightly below this divider is the coin's year of issue "1853", beneath which is the abbreviation "S.P.B." (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the left edge is a laurel branch, and along the right edge is an oak branch. The branches are tied together at the base with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. The entire edge of the coin is surrounded by raised denticles.
Obverse
The central part depicts the State Emblem of the Russian Empire – a double-headed eagle, its heads crowned with two smaller crowns and a third, larger crown above 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. On the wings are the titular coats of arms: on the right – Kazan, Astrakhan, and Siberian; on the left – Polish, Taurican, and Finnish. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left – an orb. Below the right talon is the letter "H", below the left is the letter "I". The initials of Mintmaster Nikolai Iossa. The center of the obverse is enclosed within a braided rim. At the top is an eight-petalled flower, visually indicating the start of the inscription: CHISTAGO SEREBRA 4 ZOLOTNIKA 21 DOLIA. The rim is decorated with short denticles.
