| Obverse description | A mounted warrior, representing the Tsar, depicted in right profile at full gallop upon a horse, brandishing a spear in the raised right hand — the iconic 'kopye' motif from which the kopeck derives its name. The figure is rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of Russian wire money of the period. Mint initials appear in the field below the horse's hooves. |

| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the irregular oval flan, typical of Russian wire-money (cheshuykas) of the early Romanov period. The legend reads the full titulature of Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich, rendered in archaic Church Slavonic letterforms with characteristic compressed, angular strokes. The text fills the flan from edge to edge with no border or ornamental elements. |
