Reverse
The center of the reverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle, both heads wearing crowns. A third, larger crown is positioned above and between the eagle's heads. All three crowns are connected by a ribbon. 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 left). A chain bearing the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called encircles the shield. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left an orb. Below the coat of arms, an inscription runs in an arc from left to right: 15 RUBLES 1897 G. The rim is decorated with patterned denticles.
Obverse
In the central part is the left-facing profile portrait of Emperor Nicholas II. To the left is the inscription: B.M. NICHOLAS II EMPEROR. To the right is the continuation of the first inscription: AND AUTOCRAT OF ALL RUSSIA. The rim is decorated with short denticles.
