| Obverse description | Armored horseman facing right, mounted on a galloping horse, brandishing a raised sabre in his right hand. The figure is rendered in the characteristic schematic style of early Russian wire money, with the rider's body depicted in profile and the horse shown in full stride. The planchet, cut from a flattened silver wire, imparts an irregular oval shape to the flan, typical of the period. The design fills the available field without a formal border or legend. |

| Reverse description | Three-line Cyrillic inscription within the field, introduced above by a tilde-like decorative element serving as a separation mark. The legend reads КНSЬ ВЕЛIКI IВАН, translating as 'Grand Duke Ivan,' referencing Ivan IV. The lettering is deeply struck in the archaic semi-uncial Cyrillic style characteristic of mid-16th century Muscovite coinage, occupying the majority of the reverse field on the irregular wire-cut flan. |
