| Obverse description | Central field features an ornate Cyrillic cipher of Emperor Nicholas I, composed of an interlaced Н surmounted by the Imperial crown with a cross finial. The monogram is rendered in relief with fine decorative flourishes on each vertical stroke, creating an elegant intertwined design. No peripheral legend is present; the smooth, unadorned field directs full attention to the crowned cipher. |

| Additional information |
The Warsaw Mint struck copper fractional coinage for Russian Poland under Nicholas I as part of a deliberate administrative consolidation following the failed November Uprising of 1830–31. The suppression of that revolt prompted St. Petersburg to dismantle what remained of Polish monetary autonomy, folding Warsaw's output into the imperial coinage system while keeping the mint physically operational — cheap copper fractions being more economical to produce locally than to ship from St. Petersburg or Ekaterinburg.
Nicholas I died in March 1855, during the Crimean War, ending this emission mid-run.
