In the left part of the coin, a laurel branch runs along 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.

Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew 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 (Red) Mint. Along the lower edge is a curved ribbon with the inscription: FIVE • KOPEKS
