| Reverse description | The reverse is centred on an intaglio vignette of the sculpture from the "Tale about Urals" monument in Chelyabinsk — a standing male figure in traditional dress — set against a multi-layered underprint evoking Ural industry, including metallurgical furnaces at left and an oil derrick with a map of the Ural Federal District at right. The issue year "2023" appears at upper right alongside the serial number field, and the denomination numeral "5000" occupies the lower right in a deep red intaglio block. |

The 2023 redesign of the 5000-rouble note was part of a broader Goznak programme to refresh the entire Russian banknote series, a project repeatedly delayed and then accelerated following the 2022 sanctions environment, which severely disrupted access to foreign security-printing components. Whether all security elements in this issue are fully domestically sourced remains a point of active discussion among specialists — Russia had historically relied on foreign suppliers for certain thread and hologram substrates.
The QR code inclusion is notable: relatively rare on circulating high-denomination cotton-paper issues from Goznak, it links to a Bank of Russia verification page.
