Reverse The central part features an inscription — the word "КОПЕЙКА" (KOPEYKA). Above the inscription is the numeral "1.". Above the numeral is the counting mark for a kopeck — a bordered dot placed on a five-line rim running along the edge. Below the inscription is a decorative line, and below that — the year of minting "1802.". Below the date is the mintmark of the Yekaterinburg Mint — the letters "ЕМ" (EM). The border is decorated with denticles.
Obverse The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed above and between the heads. 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. Above the crown is the counting mark for a kopeck — a bordered dot placed on a rim of five lines. The border is decorated with denticles.
