A continuous circular legend surrounds the portrait, reading ALEXANDER I. CESARZ SA·W·ROS·KRÓL·POLSKI·1815, denoting his titles as Emperor of All Russia and King of Poland with the constitutional year. The inner border is formed by a delicate beaded ring, while the outer rim carries the milled edge collar.
