Obverse description Obverse depicts a mounted horseman (the traditional image of a lance-bearing rider, commonly identified as St. George) in right profile, thrusting a spear downward toward a serpent or prostrate figure beneath the horse. The design is rendered in the crude, high-relief style characteristic of Russian wire money (chekha), with the flan's irregular shape partially cropping the motif. The strike is typical of hammer-and-die technique, resulting in uneven pressure across the surface. No legend appears on this side; the entire field is occupied by the equestrian device.
