Above the count’s crown, the crest of the crest depicts the emerging black state eagle with crowns, a scepter and a power, with a Moscow coat of arms on its chest. On the right side of the eagle, the standard of the Akhtyr hussar regiment is depicted, and on the left is a red badge depicting a silver lily with the year 1814 to remind General Illarion Vasilievich Vasilchikov of the equestrian ranger regiment in Versailles.
