In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Along the edge at the top and bottom are two semicircular cartouches, connected by a diamond-shaped ornament. The upper cartouche bears the raised inscription: MĒDNAIA ROSSĬSKAIA MONETA (COPPER RUSSIAN COIN). The lower cartouche, over a ribbon, bears the incuse line: ODNA KOPĒĬKA (ONE KOPECK).
