| Obverse lettering | ПОЛ ТИНА 1797 ГОДА (Translation: cyr Poltina 1797 year) |
| Reverse description | A rectangular frame encloses a four-line Cyrillic inscription taken from Psalm 115:1, reading 'Not to us, not to us, but to Thy name.' Below the frame, the mint marks 'С.М.' and 'Ф.Ц.' identify the St. Petersburg Mint and the mintmaster. The reverse composition is entirely typographic, with no figural imagery, consistent with the devout and austere numismatic style introduced by Pavel I. The lettering is set in a formal, well-spaced arrangement within the bordered panel. |
