| Obverse description | A double-headed eagle with spread wings emerges dramatically from stylized clouds that fill the lower field. The eagle bears an elaborate crowned imperial cypher of Empress Elizabeth — the interlaced Cyrillic monogram — on its breast. Above the eagle rises an ornate imperial crown with decorative mantling, rendered in high relief. The overall composition is bold and sculptural, characteristic of mid-18th century Russian pattern coinage, with no peripheral legend, the design occupying the full flan. |

| Reverse description | A double-headed eagle with outstretched wings rises from billowing clouds rendered in relief across the lower portion of the field. The eagle's breasts display the denomination inscription in two lines within the open space between the wings. An ornate imperial crown surmounts the design above. The date 1755 is inscribed in the exergue below the clouds. The reverse composition mirrors the dramatic cloud motif of the obverse, giving the piece a distinctive and unified artistic character. |
