| Obverse description | Obverse of this wire money (cheshуika) depicts a mounted horseman — the traditional equestrian figure of the Tsar — shown in right profile, armed with a spear or lance couched forward, seated on a galloping horse. The design is struck in high relief on a small, irregular flan characteristic of the hammered wire coinage of early Romanov Russia. The mint mark 'о М' (denoting the Moscow Mint) appears in the field. The overall composition is compact and stylized, typical of early 17th-century Russian kopeck production. |
