On the eagle's chest 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. Below the right talon is the letter 'S', below the left talon is the letter 'M'. The mintmark of the Sestroretsk Mint. Along the lower edge is a curved ribbon with the inscription: FIVE • KOPEKS
