Simon - Awesome coin. Me thinks the creature is a double-headed eagle. Below is some interesting info. from a google search. However, I did a pretty extensive search and I didn't find anything resembling your coin. Good luck on iding it!

First thing I checked were russian coins...are you sure of the date? The Russian double headed eagle has a crown and holds a sceptre and the royal apple.
