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 '1881'. 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 Dolya), divided at the top by an eight-petal flower. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing inward.
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, and a third, larger crown is above and between them. 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 (head to the left). 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) are: Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In the right talon is a scepter, and below it the letter 'Н'. In the left talon is an orb, and below it the letter 'Ф'. Together these letters form the initials of Mintmaster Nikolai Follendorf. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing inward.
