The central part features the denomination '5' flanked left and right by six-pointed stars. Above the denomination is the Imperial crown. Below the numeral is the name of the monetary unit 'КОПѢЕКЪ'. Further down is the year of mintage '1860', visually separated from the upper part of the coin by two ornamental lines with five dots between them. Below the year is the abbreviation 'С.П.Б.' (Saint Petersburg Mint). Along the edge on the left is a laurel branch, and on the right an oak branch. The branches are tied together at the bottom with a ribbon forming a bow. The rim is decorated 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 eagle heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed above and between them. All three are connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew. On the eagle's breast is the Moscow coat of arms, a shield depicting St. George the Victorious slaying a dragon with a spear. Surrounding this shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew. 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. Below the right talon is the letter 'Ф', below the left 'Б'. These are the initials of mintmaster Fedor Blum. The rim is decorated with denticles.
