Obverse description Central field features the interlaced cipher of Catherine II (Ekaterina II), composed of the Cyrillic letters Е and И, surmounted by an imperial crown. The monogram is rendered in relief against a smooth field and is flanked symmetrically by two sprays of laurel and oak, tied at the base, evoking imperial dignity. The design is unlettered, relying entirely on the crowned royal cipher as the primary device. The reeded border frames the composition cleanly, consistent with Novodel (restrike) production standards.

Reverse description The reverse presents the arms of Siberia: two sable martens rampant, facing one another and supporting a crossed bow and arrows beneath an imperial crown, all rendered in high relief. The date 1764 appears prominently in the upper field above the crowned shield. The circular legend, reading in Cyrillic, surrounds the central device and states the denomination. The overall composition reflects the regional coinage design associated with the Siberian mint series, here rendered as a Novodel specimen of exceptional clarity.
