| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of the tsar depicted in right profile, shown as a mounted horseman at full gallop, brandishing a raised sabre in the right hand. The design is rendered in the traditional Russian wire money style, with a schematic yet vigorous treatment of horse and rider typical of late 17th-century Muscovite coinage. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of the scale (cheshуyка) production method, with the design partially visible across the available surface. No border or legend appears on this face. |

| Additional information |
Peter I and his half-brother Ivan V were declared co-tsars in 1682 following the Streltsy uprising, with their sister Sophia ruling as regent behind both. Wire-cut denga production under this joint reign continued the medieval wire-money tradition — blanks hand-cut from drawn silver wire, individually struck between two dies — unchanged in method from the 15th century. The attribution to Peter by name rather than to the co-tsarate as a unit reflects later cataloging conventions, not a political distinction made at the mint.
