- 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 First-Called. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Below the coat of arms, an inscription runs in an arc from left to right: 10 РꙊБЛЕЙ 1899 Г. The rim is decorated with patterned denticles. - Obverse
The center of the obverse features the left-facing profile of Russian Emperor Nicholas II. Along the left edge, an inscription runs in an arc: Б.М. НИКОЛАЙ II ИМПЕРАТОРЪ. Along the right edge is the continuation of the first inscription: И САМОДЕРЖЕЦЪ ВСЕРОСС. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
