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 mintmark "S.P.B.". The central part is separated from the rest of the design by a circle of dots. At the top, along the rim, is the incused text: 1877 GODA On the left side of the coin, along the edge, is a laurel branch, and on the right, 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). 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 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 ROSSĪSKAYA MONETA The lower cartouche bears the incused inscription on a ribbon: PYAT' KOPĒEKЪ
