| Obverse description | Obverse depicts a mounted warrior — the traditional equestrian figure of the Russian kopeck type — shown in right profile, seated on a galloping horse and brandishing a long lance or spear raised above the right shoulder. The rider wears a pointed helmet and appears in military dress, consistent with the stylized representation of the Tsar as a conquering sovereign found on wire money of this period. The figure and horse are rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered wire coinage, with the design occupying the full available field of the irregular flan. No surrounding legend appears on this side; the mint mark Н, denoting the Moscow Mint emission, is associated with this die variety. |

| Reverse description | Reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field of the irregular oval flan, arranged in four horizontal lines as was standard for Russian wire kopecks of the late sixteenth century. The legend names the issuing sovereign in the traditional formulaic style, identifying Fyodor Ivanovich as Tsar and Grand Prince of all Rus. The boldly struck characters are in an archaic Cyrillic hand consistent with Muscovite mint practice of the 1580s–1590s. The surface shows characteristic hammer-struck texture with slight doubling and flan irregularities typical of the chekanka wire-money production technique. No additional decorative elements or borders are present. |
