| Obverse description | Centrally positioned Russian Imperial double-headed eagle displayed with wings spread, each head facing outward, surmounted by a single large Imperial crown above. The eagle's breast bears a quartered shield with the coats of arms of the Russian territories. The talons clutch a sceptre to the left and an orb to the right. The mintmaster's initials 'Ф Б' appear in the lower field beneath the eagle's tail feathers, flanking the central ornament. |

A decorative ornamental divider separates the denomination from the date '1859' in the lower field, beneath which the St. Petersburg Mint mark 'С.П.Б.' is inscribed. An Imperial crown surmounts the wreath at the top. |
