| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna facing right, her hair elaborately curled and dressed with a small imperial crown, wearing a lace-trimmed décolleté gown with ornate embroidered neckline. A circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the effigy within a rope-beaded border reading Б·М·ЕЛИСАВЕТЪ·І·ИМПЕРАТРИЦА. The portrait is rendered in high relief in a baroque court style characteristic of mid-18th century Russian imperial coinage. |
