| Obverse description | Typical Russian wire money (cheshуika) obverse depicting a mounted horseman — the Tsar — shown in right profile, riding a horse at full gallop and brandishing a spear or lance downward. The figure is rendered in the schematic, high-relief hammered style characteristic of late 16th-century Muscovite coinage. The irregular flan shape, a consequence of the wire-cut production method, partially obscures the design at the edges. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional ornamental devices. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire flat field of the irregular flan, arranged in four horizontal lines of tightly spaced characters in the hammered style typical of late 16th-century Russian wire coinage. The legend reads ЦРЬИ ВЕЛИКIИ КНSЬФЕѠ ДОРВСЕѨ РУСIИ, identifying the issuer as Tsar and Grand Prince Fyodor of all Rus. The Cyrillic letterforms are bold and slightly uneven due to the hand-struck technique, with no decorative border or additional devices. The flan edges are irregular and jagged, consistent with the wire-cut production method. No exergue or additional mint marks appear on this face. |
