| Obverse description | Four interlaced crowned Cyrillic monograms of Empress Catherine II arranged symmetrically in a cross pattern, occupying the central field. Each monogram consists of the intertwined initials of the Empress surmounted by an imperial crown, with the four devices oriented toward the cardinal points. The composition is uncluttered, the monograms rendered in moderate relief against a plain field, emphasizing the imperial cipher as the sole decorative and symbolic element. |

| Reverse description | A crowned Russian imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the central field, its wings spread and each head surmounted by a separate crown beneath a larger central imperial crown. On the eagle's breast, two oval shields bear the coats of arms of Moldavia (auroch's head) and Wallachia (eagle), referencing the Russian-occupied Danubian principalities. The date and denomination legend in Cyrillic characters is arranged around or below the eagle, identifying the issuing territory and denomination. |
