| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Empress Elizabeth I of Russia, her hair elaborately dressed and adorned with a pearl-studded crown or kokoshnik, wearing an ornamented imperial mantle over a low-cut bodice decorated with jewels. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the baroque court portrait style characteristic of mid-18th-century Russian coinage. The circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the portrait, reading from the upper left, with the mint mark СПБ (Saint Petersburg) appearing in the lower exergue below the bust. |
