- Reverse
The upper part of the reverse features the crown of the Russian Empire. Below, on two lines, are the denomination (six-pointed stars to the left and right) and the monetary unit: 5 KOPĒKЪ. Below that is a divider element consisting of two oppositely directed arrows with five dots between them. The five dots form a cross. Below the divider is the year of mintage '1915'. Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge is an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied with a ribbon forming a neat bow. The entire edge of the coin is struck with raised denticles. - Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is positioned above and between the heads. All are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, a shield depicting St. George the Victorious on horseback spearing a dragon. Surrounding the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and in the left an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'V', under the left is the letter 'S'. The initials of Mintmaster Viktor Smirnov. The rim is decorated with denticles.
