Reverse
The central part features an inscription — the word 'POLUSHKA'. Above the inscription is the numeral '1.'. Below the inscription is a raised line, under which is the year of minting '1802.'. Below that is the abbreviation 'E.M.' (Yekaterinburg Mint). Closer to the edge is a border of two lines. The coin's rim is made of protruding 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 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). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. Along the edge, surrounding the eagle, is a continuous border of two lines. The rim is decorated with denticles.
