Reverse
The denomination and monetary unit are placed on two lines: 5 РУБЛЕЙ. Below is a separator element consisting of two elongated, oppositely directed figures with a dot between them. Under the separator is the year of mintage '1884'. Below that is the mint mark 'С.П.Б.'. The central part is separated from the rest of the design by a circle of dots. Outside this circle is the circular inscription: ЧИСТАГО ЗОЛОТА 1 ЗОЛОТНИК 39 ДОЛЕЙ (Pure Gold 1 Zolotnik 39 Dolias), divided at the top by an eight-petaled flower. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
Obverse
The center of the obverse features the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire – a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, with a larger third crown 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 left). The shield is surrounded by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. The wings bear the coats of arms (four on each wing): Kazan, Poland, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberia, Georgia, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In its right talon is a scepter, below which is the letter 'А'. In its left talon is an orb, below which is the letter 'Г'. Together these letters form the initials of Mintmaster Apollon Grasgof. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
