| Obverse description | Central device consists of four crowned Cyrillic letters П (initial of Emperor Pavel), arranged symmetrically to form a cross, with the Roman numeral I at the center of the design. The denomination legend appears in the lower right field and the date in the lower left field. The overall composition is austere and monogram-driven, characteristic of Paul I's deliberate departure from portrait coinage. |
