Obverse description Obverse depicts a mounted warrior (commonly identified as St. George or the Tsar) in profile facing right, shown on horseback and brandishing a spear or lance directed downward toward a serpent or prostrate foe beneath the horse's hooves. The design is executed in the bold, schematic relief characteristic of late 16th- to early 17th-century Russian wire money, struck on an irregularly shaped planchet. The field is uneven and shows the characteristic surface texture of hammered silver coinage. No border or legend appears on this side, the entire surface being occupied by the equestrian motif. The mint mark Н РГI (indicating the Velikiy Novgorod mint) appears in association with this type.
