Reverse
The center of the coin is occupied by the monogram of Empress Catherine II Alexeevna the Great. Above it is the crown of the Russian Empire. To the left of the monogram is the first part of the minting year — '17', and to the right the second — '63'. In the left part of the coin, a laurel branch runs along the circumference near the rim, and in the right part, a palm branch. At the base, the branches are tied with a ribbon, the knot of which forms a bow. The rim is made in the form of denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse features a double-headed eagle — the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. Both heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is between them. On the eagle's chest is the coat of arms of Moscow — an openwork shield with St. George the Victorious on horseback, slaying a serpent with a long spear (the serpent's head is to the right). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. In the eagle's right talon is a scepter, and below the talon the letter 'E'. In the left talon is an orb, and below the talon the letter 'M'. Together the letters indicate the Yekaterinburg Mint. Below the eagle, on a curved ribbon, is the inscription: FIVE • KOPEKS. The rim is decorated with denticles.
