| Obverse description | The obverse displays the ornate imperial cypher of Tsar Alexander II at center, comprising an interlaced cursive 'A' surmounted by the Roman numeral 'II', the whole crowned by an Imperial Russian crown with cross finial. Elaborate scrollwork and foliate flourishes flank the monogram on either side, filling the field in a decorative Rococo-influenced style. The border is dentilated on later issues (KM#1.2) or composed of raised dots on earlier issues (KM#1.1). |

The design is austere and typographic, with no additional ornament beyond the dentilated border encircling the entire composition. |
