| Obverse description | Crowned equestrian figure of the Tsar depicted in right profile, mounted on a galloping horse, brandishing a long spear diagonally across the field. The rider wears a crown and royal garments rendered in the flat, schematic style characteristic of Russian wire money. Mint mark and partial legend appear in the field, typical of Novgorod kopecks of the Boris Godunov period. |

| Reverse description | Multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire reverse field, arranged in horizontal lines across the irregular flan, as is standard for Russian wire kopecks of this era. The legend reads «ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ БОРИС ФЕДОРОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ», identifying the issuing ruler as Tsar and Grand Duke Boris Feodorovich of All Russia. The lettering is characteristic of late 16th- to early 17th-century Muscovite epigraphy, with compressed, angular letterforms adapted to the small, oval flan. |
