Obverse
The city's coat of arms is displayed against a special backdrop reflecting the city's history:
A brick tower with battlements on top alludes to the city's historical role as a fortress, a protected point with city walls and towers.
The ears on the sides symbolize its agricultural orientation.

Reverse
In the center is the Coat of Arms of the Moscow Province and an inscription along the edge of the medal.
The coat of arms of the Moscow Province was approved in the 18th–19th centuries and replicated the main symbol of Moscow (Saint George), but in a simplified, "provincial" version. Shield, crown, and branches are a classic composition for provincial coats of arms.

Comments
The "Coats of Arms of Cities, Provinces, Regions, and Posads" series of medals from the Leningrad Mint (LMD) are made of cupronickel with a diameter of 42 mm in PROOF quality.
The theme: coats of arms of cities, provinces, regions, and poasads of the Russian Empire, including state coats of arms (small, medium, and large) and regional symbols (coats of arms of the St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Penza provinces, the Kuban region, and others). Some of the pieces were issued by commission from banks (Tarkhany, Inkombank) or as part of art projects.
