Reverse description A multi-line Cyrillic inscription fills the entire field of this small, irregularly shaped flan, rendered in the old Muscovite script without word spacing and with lines wrapping irrespective of word boundaries, as was customary on Russian wire money of the period. The legend names the issuing ruler in full sovereign titulature. The text reads in modern Russian orthography: ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ БОРИС ФЕДОРОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ, meaning 'Tsar and Grand Prince Boris Feodorovich of all Rus.' The inscription is disposed across multiple abbreviated lines, the exact arrangement varying from specimen to specimen due to the imprecise nature of hammered wire coinage production. No additional decorative border or device is present.
