| Obverse description | Equestrian effigy of the Tsar depicted as a armed horseman, facing right, mounted on a galloping horse and holding a long spear (kopye) couched forward — the traditional design from which the kopeck derives its name. The mintmark letters 'о М' (denoting the Moscow Mint) appear beneath the horse's hooves in the lower field. The striking is characteristic of wire-money (chekha) technique, with the design partially visible on the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a multi-line Cyrillic legend arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's surface, reading the full titulature of the sovereign. The inscription, typical of Romanov-era wire kopecks, fills the available flan from edge to edge, with letters often clipped at the periphery due to the irregular shape of the hammered planchet. The text is rendered in early Cyrillic script consistent with early 17th-century Muscovite epigraphy. |
