| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of a mounted warrior in right profile, depicted at full gallop on a horse with raised forelegs, brandishing a raised sabre in the right hand. The design is executed in the characteristic wire-money style of medieval Muscovite coinage, with bold, stylized lines on an irregular flan. The field is plain, with no legend present on this side. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged in two or three registers, reading the title of the Grand Prince. The lettering is rendered in the archaic Slavonic script typical of Muscovite wire money of the early sixteenth century, with individual characters occupying the majority of the flan. The overall composition is compact and densely filled, consistent with the hammered wire-money technique of the period. |
