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 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 on 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. On the upper cartouche is the raised inscription: MĒDNAYA ROSSĪYSKAYA MONETA On the lower cartouche, over a ribbon, is the incused inscription: PYAT' KOPĒEKЪ
