| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Empress Anna Ivanovna occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detail. The Empress wears an imperial crown adorned with pearls and a jewelled diadem, her hair dressed elaborately with pearl strands woven throughout. Her shoulders are draped in an ermine-trimmed imperial mantle, with ornamental brooch and decorative bodice visible at the truncation. A circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the effigy, reading the full imperial titulature of Anna as Empress and Autocrat of All Russia. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the Russian Imperial double-headed eagle displayed in high relief at the centre of the field, its two crowned heads flanking a large central imperial crown above. The eagle's wings are spread and detailed with finely engraved feathers; its talons grasp an orb surmounted by a cross on the right and a sceptre on the left. On the breast of the eagle appears the Moscow coat of arms showing St. George and the dragon. The date and denomination legend in Cyrillic characters is distributed around the periphery of the field. |
