The denomination is indicated on two lines (five-pointed stars on the left and right) and the monetary unit: ⋆ 5 ⋆ KOPĒEKЪ Below, a decorative divider in the form of two curved lines with a small circle between them is placed. 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. In the upper part, along the circle, is the incuse text: 1868 GODA.

The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle. Both heads of the eagle wear 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 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 incuse inscription: PYAT' KOPĒEKЪ.
