| Obverse description | A crowned equestrian figure, representing the Tsar, is depicted in right profile astride a galloping horse, brandishing a long spear directed downward in the characteristic kopeck tradition. The rider wears a crown and is shown in dynamic motion, occupying the majority of the irregular flan. Cyrillic mint and date letters appear in the field surrounding the horseman, reading ГЕ НРАI, denoting the Velikiy Novgorod mint and the year of issue. The design is rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic relief typical of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Russian wire money. The irregular planchet shape and flat relief are characteristic features of hammered wire coinage of this period. |
