Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge a palm branch. At the base, the branches are tied with a ribbon forming a bow.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is above and between the heads. On the eagle's breast is the coat of arms of Moscow—a shield depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback, slaying a serpent with a long spear (the serpent's head is to the right). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left—an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'M', under the left—the letter 'M'. The mintmark of the Krasny Mint. Along the lower edge is a curved ribbon with the inscription: FIVE • KOPEKS
