The center of the obverse features a double-headed eagle—the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. Both eagle heads bear crowns, with a larger third crown between 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 coats of arms on the wings are: Left wing: Polish, Taurian, Finnish. Right wing: Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberian. The right talon holds a scepter, and the left holds an orb. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing inward.
