| Obverse description | A crowned equestrian figure depicted in profile facing right, brandishing a long spear in the traditional pose of a mounted warrior — the classic 'copyshchik' (spearman) motif characteristic of Russian wire money. The rider sits upon a galloping horse with legs extended, the composition filling the irregular oval flan. Cyrillic mint mark letters 'о М' appear in the field below the horse, denoting the Moscow Mint. The design is rendered in the bold, somewhat crude relief typical of hammered wire coinage of the mid-17th century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged in abbreviated horizontal registers across the entire flan, containing the full imperial titulature of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich in Old Church Slavonic. The legend reads 'ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ АЛЕКСЕЙ МИХАЙЛОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ' (Tsar and Grand Prince Alexey Mikhailovich of All Rus), rendered in the compressed, ligature-rich script typical of 17th-century Russian hammered coinage. The text fills the available field in characteristic wire-money fashion, with letters often truncated or partially struck due to the irregular planchet. |
