Obverse description The obverse depicts a rightward-facing equestrian figure of Tsar Peter I, shown without a coat, mounted on a rearing horse and brandishing a lance or sword above his head. The rider is rendered in a dynamic, medieval-inspired style reminiscent of the traditional St. George motif, with the horse trampling a serpent or enemy figure beneath its hooves. The design is executed in low relief characteristic of hammered coinage of the early Petrine period, with no surrounding legend on this side.
