| Obverse description | A mounted equestrian figure, representing the Tsar, depicted in right-facing profile astride a galloping horse and brandishing a long spear (lance) in the characteristic kopeck tradition. The rider is rendered in the bold, stylized manner typical of early Romanov wire money dies. Mint initials or letters appear in the field beneath the horse's hooves, serving as the mint attribution mark for the Moscow Mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription distributed across the entire surface of the irregular planchet, as was standard for Russian wire kopecks of the period. The abbreviated titulature of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich reads across several lines in early Church Slavonic script, proclaiming his full imperial title. The lettering is boldly struck in raised relief, with individual characters exhibiting the angular, archaic forms characteristic of early seventeenth-century Russian die-cutting. The inscription fills the field from edge to edge with no border or decorative framing elements. |
