| Obverse description | A mounted horseman, representing the Tsar, depicted in right profile atop a galloping horse, wielding a spear or lance in the traditional equestrian style characteristic of early Russian wire money. The mint mark letters МО СКВА (Moscow) appear beneath the hooves of the horse in the lower field. The design is executed in the schematic, stylized manner typical of hammered wire kopecks of the Romanov period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the coin's irregular flan, presenting the full royal titulature of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. The abbreviated legend reads ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ МИХАИЛ ФЕДОРОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ (Tsar and Grand Prince Mikhail Fedorovich of All Rus), rendered in the compressed, abbreviated Cyrillic lettering standard to wire money of this period. The text is distributed across several lines conforming to the shape of the flan. |
