| Obverse description | The obverse features the large numeral '5' prominently in the upper central field, beneath which the Cyrillic legend 'РУБЛЕЙ' (Roubles) appears in bold lettering, followed by 'БАНК РОССИИ' (Bank of Russia) and the date '2015' in the lower field. Decorative floral and foliate scroll ornaments embellish the left and right sides of the field, lending the design an elegant, classical character. The coin's rim is plain and unadorned, framing the composition cleanly. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a bold sculptural relief of the monument to the defenders of Sevastopol, showing two heroic Soviet soldier figures in dynamic forward movement — one raising a rifle with bayonet aloft, the other gesturing forward in command — set upon a stepped pedestal. The composition conveys vigorous martial energy in the Soviet monumental realist tradition. Encircling the upper and left periphery of the field is the Cyrillic legend 'ОБОРОНА СЕВАСТОПОЛЯ' (Defense of Sevastopol) across the top and 'ВЕЛИКАЯ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННАЯ ВОЙНА 1941–1945 гг.' (The Great Patriotic War 1941–1945) along the left, separated by five-pointed stars. The field behind the monument group is smooth, giving prominence to the sculptural imagery. |
