Reverse
The central part features the text: GROSZY. Above the inscription is the numeral 5. Below the inscription is a decorative divider in the form of two curved lines with a small dot between them. Below the divider is the year of mintage '1838'. On the left side of the reverse is a laurel branch, and on the right an oak branch. Below, the branches are tied together with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by a double-headed eagle, the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is between them. All three crowns are connected by a ribbon. 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. The coats of arms on the wings: Left wing: Polish, Taurian, Finnish. Right wing: Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberian. In the right talon is a scepter, above it the letter 'M'. In the left talon is an orb, above it the letter 'W'. Together the letters indicate the Warsaw Mint.
