| Obverse description | Obverse of this wire money (cheshuyка) depicts a mounted equestrian figure of the Tsar in right-facing profile, shown as a armoured rider on horseback brandishing a spear or lance — the traditional design inherited from earlier Muscovite coinage. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of hammered wire kopecks, and the strike is slightly off-center, partially cutting the design. The mint mark НОГ (denoting the Velikiy Novgorod Mint) appears in the field. The overall relief is low and the design retains the archaic, schematic style characteristic of early 17th-century Russian wire coinage. |
