| Obverse description | Central design depicts an armored equestrian figure — representing the Tsar — mounted on a galloping horse facing right, wielding a raised lance or spear. The mint mark letters МО appear beneath the horse's hooves in the lower field. The design is characteristic of the wire money (cheshuyка) tradition, struck on an irregularly shaped planchet cut from a silver wire rod. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged in horizontal lines across the entire field, a format typical of Russian wire kopecks of the period. The legend reads ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ МИХАИЛ ФЕДОРОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ, translating as 'Tsar and Grand Prince Mikhail Fedorovich of All Rus'. The text is distributed across several abbreviated lines to fit the small, irregular flan. |
