The central part features the denomination — the inscription 'ДЕНЬГА' (Denga). Above the denomination is a six-pointed star. Above it is the imperial crown. Below the inscription is a straight line, under which is the mint mark 'Е.М.'. Along the edge of the coin, not reaching the crown, is a wreath of laurel and oak branches, which are tied together with a ribbon at the bottom. The border is decorated with dots. - Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the small 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 First-Called. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left — an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'И', under the left — 'К'. These are the initials of mintmaster Ivan Kolobov. Below the initials is the year of minting '1825'. The border is decorated with dots.
