Reverse
The central part features the monogram of Catherine II. Above the monogram is the imperial crown. On either side of the monogram are the digits of the coin's year of issue: on the left — '17', and on the right the second part — '89'. In the left part of the coin, a laurel branch runs along the circumference of 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 coin's edge is made in the form of denticles.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the lesser coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle with wings spread. The eagle's heads bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is above and between the heads. 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 right). Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left — an orb. Under the right talon is the letter 'M', under the left — the letter 'M'. The mintmark of the Krasny Mint. Along the lower edge is a curved ribbon with the inscription: FIVE • KOPEKS
