| Obverse description | Within a sunken central medallion, the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle displayed, each head surmounted by a separate crown and the whole topped by a larger Imperial crown above. The eagle is encircled by a wreath of laurel and oak, set against a broad, deeply recessed flat field characteristic of this extraordinary large-format pattern planchet. The design is rendered in low relief within the recessed central area, with the textured, pitted surface of the wide flat rim visible around the medallion. |

| Reverse description | Within a sunken central medallion, the denomination inscription in two lines occupies the field, surmounted by a small Imperial crown at the top of the design. The legend is enclosed within a wreath of laurel and oak tied at the base, all set in low relief within the recessed central area. The broad, flat rim surrounding the medallion displays the same heavily textured, pitted surface as the obverse, consistent with the experimental struck copper planchet of this celebrated Sestroretsk pattern rouble. |
