| Obverse description | Depiction of a mounted Tsar as warrior, shown in right profile on a galloping horse, wielding a spear — the traditional 'horseman' (ездец) motif emblematic of Russian wire money kopecks. The figure occupies the entire field of this irregularly shaped flan, consistent with the wire-money striking technique. Mint letters 'о М' (denoting the Moscow Mint) appear beneath the horse's hooves in Cyrillic characters. The design is rendered in bold relief typical of early 17th-century Russian hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field of the irregular oval flan, identifying the issuing sovereign in the traditional Russian titulature formula. The legend reads 'Царь и Великий Князь Михаил Федорович всея Руси' (Tsar and Grand Prince Mikhail Fedorovich of All Rus), presented in three or four compressed lines of bold, raised Cyrillic lettering characteristic of wire-money coinage of the period. The text is slightly curved to conform to the shape of the flan, with individual letters of notably large module relative to the coin's size. No decorative borders or exergue lines are present, as is typical of Russian chekha (wire coin) production of the early Romanov era. |
