The denomination (with five-pointed stars to the left and right) and monetary unit are indicated on two lines: ⋆ 5 ⋆ KOPĒEKЪ Below is a decorative divider in the form of two curved lines with a small circle between them. Under the lines is the mint mark 'S.P.B.'. The central part is separated from the rest of the design by a circle of dots. At the top, around the circumference, is the incuse text: 1880 GODA. Along the left edge of the coin is a laurel branch, and along the right edge an oak branch. At the base, the branches are tied together with a ribbon forming a bow. - 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). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. The coats of arms on the wings (four on each wing): Kazan, Polish, Taurida, Astrakhan, Siberian, Georgian, Kiev and Novgorod, Vladimir. In its right talon the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left an orb. Along the edge at the top and bottom are two semi-circular cartouches, connected by a diamond-shaped ornament. The upper cartouche bears the raised inscription: MĒDNAYA ROSSĪYSKAYA MONETA (COPPER RUSSIAN COIN). The lower cartouche bears the incuse inscription on a ribbon: PYAT' KOPĒEKЪ (FIVE KOPEKS).
