| Obverse description | Crowned equestrian figure of the tsar in right profile, depicted as an armoured horseman ('kopeinik') mounted on a galloping horse and brandishing a long spear; the mintmark letters ПСРЗ (denoting the Pskov mint) are placed in the field beneath the horse's hooves. The design is executed in the characteristic shallow, linear style of Russian wire-money coinage, struck on an irregularly shaped flan. |

| Reverse description | Multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field, presenting the full intitulature of Tsar Boris Fyodorovich Godunov. The legend reads ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ БОРИС ФЕДОРОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ, meaning 'Tsar and Grand Prince Boris Fyodorovich of All Rus'. The text is arranged in horizontal lines across the characteristic elongated wire-money flan, with no border or decorative framing elements, in keeping with the conventions of late sixteenth-century Russian hammered coinage. |
