| Obverse description | The State Emblem of the USSR — a hammer and sickle superimposed on a globe, framed by wheat sheaves bound with a ribbon and surmounted by a five-pointed star — is depicted prominently in the upper field. Below the emblem, the Cyrillic legend 'СССР' (USSR) appears in large characters, followed by the numeral '5' and the denomination 'РУБЛЕЙ' (Roubles) in the center field. The date '1990' is inscribed in the lower exergue. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. |

| Reverse description | A detailed architectural view of the Cathedral of the Dormition (Uspensky Sobor) occupies the central field, depicting the 15th-century Moscow Kremlin landmark with its characteristic five onion domes topped by crosses, rendered in fine relief. The legend 'УСПЕНСКИЙ СОБОР' (Uspensky Cathedral) is inscribed along the upper periphery in stylized Cyrillic lettering, with 'ХВ.' (15th century) appearing to the left of the cathedral facade in the field. The inscription 'МОСКВА' (Moscow) is centered in the lower field, flanked by decorative foliate ornaments in an Old Russian style. The architectural rendering captures the cathedral's arched portals, pilasters, and distinctive Russian Orthodox silhouette with precision. |
