| Obverse description | Central field depicts an equestrian figure of the Tsar in profile, riding a galloping horse to the right and brandishing a spear or lance in the traditional manner of the wire kopeck type. The rider's posture is rendered in the characteristic stylised hammered technique of Muscovite coinage. Mintmark letters appear beneath the hooves of the horse, indicating the issuing mint. The design follows the established iconographic convention of the 'horseman with spear' motif inherited from earlier Tsarist wire money. |
