| Obverse description | A mounted warrior, representing the Tsar, depicted in right-facing profile astride a galloping horse and bearing a raised spear — the classic cheshuyka (scale coin) lance-rider motif. The figure is rendered in the stylized, flat manner characteristic of Russian wire money of the 17th century. Cyrillic letters, comprising part of the mint mark or initial designation, appear beneath the horse's hooves in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription in archaic Old Russian, disposed across the irregular flan in the compact, abbreviated manner typical of wire kopecks of the period. The legend records the full title of the reigning Tsar: ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ АЛЕКСЕЙ МИХАЙЛОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ (Tsar and Grand Prince Alexey Mikhailovich of all Rus). The text is arranged in compressed horizontal lines filling the available field, with no border or inner circle. |
