| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Catherine I facing right, her hair elaborately dressed and adorned with a small crown or diadem, with loose curls falling to the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in a Baroque portrait style typical of early eighteenth-century Russian coinage, with visible drapery and pearl ornamentation at the décolletage. A circular Cyrillic legend runs continuously around the periphery of the field, separated from the bust by a plain inner border. The portrait occupies the majority of the coin's surface, conveying imperial authority in the Western European manner introduced under Peter the Great. |
