| Obverse description | A mounted horseman galloping to the right, brandishing a raised sabre above his head in a dynamic martial pose typical of Muscovite wire money coinage. The rider is depicted in profile on a galloping horse with legs extended. The mint mark 'М' (for Moscow) appears in the field beneath the horse's hooves, serving as the mint identifier. The design is struck in the characteristic crude but vigorous style of 16th-century Russian hammered coinage on an irregular flan. |
