| Obverse description | Equestrian effigy of the Tsar depicted as an armed rider on a galloping horse to the right, lance held forward in the manner of a traditional kopeck spearman (копейщик). The figure is rendered in the archaic flat relief characteristic of early Romanov wire money. Mint letters 'o M' appear in the field beneath the horse's hooves, identifying the Moscow Mint. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with the cut-wire production method of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic legend filling the entire field of the irregular flan, arranged in horizontal lines in the traditional Russian wire money format. The inscription reads the full titulature of Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich, identifying him as Tsar and Grand Prince of All Rus. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, though partially truncated at the flan edges as is typical of hammered wire coinage of this era. No border or decorative elements frame the inscription. |
