| Obverse description | A mounted horseman depicted in profile galloping to the right, brandishing a raised sabre in his right hand. The figure is rendered in the characteristic schematic style of Russian wire money, with the horse shown in full stride. Beneath the horse's hooves appear the mint or control letters НС, serving as an attribution mark for this issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the entire field of the coin, as was standard for Russian wire money (chekany) of the period. The legend reads ЦРЬ IКНЯSЬ ВЕЛIKIФЕ WДОРЪ, translating as 'Tsar and Grand Prince Fyodor,' identifying the issuing ruler Fyodor I Ivanovich. The lettering is deeply but irregularly struck in the hammered wire-money technique, with characters distributed across four to five lines filling the available flan. |
