| Beschrijving voorzijde | Equestrian figure of the Grand Prince depicted in right profile, mounted on a vigorously galloping horse, with the rider's arm raised and brandishing a sabre above his head. The design is executed in the bold, schematic relief characteristic of Russian wire money of the period, with the horse rendered in a dynamic, striding posture filling the irregular flan. The field is plain and unlettered, the entire surface bearing the characteristic flow lines of the hammered wire technique. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a three-line Cyrillic inscription in bold, archaic semi-uncial letterforms occupying the full field of the irregular flan, reading КНSЬ ВЕЛIKI ИВАНЪ, translating as 'Grand Prince Ivan.' The legend is rendered in the characteristic early Muscovite script style, with letters of varying size and spacing reflecting the hand-cut die engraving of the period. The inscription fills the flan without a border, consistent with wire money production at the Tver mint under Ivan IV. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ivan IV inherited the Tver appanage as a child and held it until his death in 1546, one of the last semi-autonomous princely mints operating under Moscow's increasingly tight grip. These small wire-cut pieces — produced by the characteristic Eastern European "chёkan" hammering technique on irregular blanks snipped from drawn silver wire — circulated alongside Muscovite issues as Moscow was actively absorbing regional minting rights. Tver's independent coinage tradition effectively ended with Ivan IV's death, after which the principality's monetary output was folded into the centralized Muscovite system.
