| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle displayed, each head crowned separately and surmounted by a single larger Imperial crown bearing a cross finial, with ribbons flowing to either side. The eagle's wings are spread and elaborately detailed with feathering; the dexter talon clutches a sceptre and the sinister a globus cruciger. A large heraldic shield on the eagle's breast displays the mounted St. George slaying the dragon, surrounded by a complex arrangement of subsidiary escutcheons bearing the arms of the various territories of the Russian Empire. The composition fills the field entirely with no surrounding legend, framed by a denticulated border of fine tooth pattern. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold central design within a raised inner circle: the large numeral '25' above the Cyrillic denomination 'РУБЛЕЙ' in prominent block letters, separated by a decorative ornamental rule with a central rosette. Below, the date '1876' and the mint mark 'С.П.Б.' (Saint Petersburg) are inscribed in the lower portion of the inner field. Surrounding the inner circle, a wide outer legend in Cyrillic reads 'ЧИСТАГО ЗОЛОТА 7 ЗОЛОТНИКОВЪ 3 ДОЛИ' (Pure Gold 7 zolotniks 3 dolyas), interrupted at the top by a six-petalled floral ornament. The entire design is enclosed within a denticulated border matching that of the obverse. |
