It was in this year that there were no coins of large denominations such as 20 kopecks in the circulation. And all the created instances were melted down again by order.

The entire circulation of 1934 is valued also because of the small number of varieties of coins. Let's take a closer look at the described coin.
Overse, or eagle
In the center of the main side of the 5 kopeck coin of 1934, the globe is depicted, and on it - a hammer and sickle as symbols of the worker and peasant. Above is a five-pointed star. Below the globe is a semicircle of the sun with direct rays. Around this entire composition lie spikelets of wheat around the perimeter, wrapped with a thin ribbon 7 times (three on each side and one turn on the bottom). This coat of arms is flat, feels smooth when touched.
Exactly under the coat of arms there is an inscription of the USSR with dots after each capital letter. Around the coin on the side of the obverse, the following words are written: "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" The inscription is outlined on the inside with a thin relief strip. The edge of the coin is ribbed, which is well felt when examining the edge.

Even lower is the year of issue of the coin - 1934, under which there is a large dot in the middle.
The rim from a thin line on top smoothly turns into two spikelets, intertwining in the center from below. Small notches are made in 8 places (3 pieces in each place).
