| Obverse description | A mounted horseman, representing the Tsar, depicted in profile riding a galloping horse to the right and brandishing a long spear. The figure is rendered in the characteristic schematic style of early Russian wire money. The mint mark НОГ (denoting the Velikiy Novgorod Mint) appears in the field beneath the horse's hooves. The design is struck on an irregularly shaped, flattened silver planchet cut from drawn wire, resulting in a compact, oval-to-round form typical of Russian cheshuitsy of this period. |

| Reverse description | A multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field of the coin, bearing the full royal titulature of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov. The text is presented in the traditional format of Russian wire money legends, with a titlo (a horizontal diacritic stroke used in early Cyrillic manuscript and epigraphic tradition) placed above abbreviated words to indicate contraction. The lettering is executed in a bold, archaic Slavonic hand consistent with the early Romanov period. The irregular planchet shape, inherent to hammered wire coinage, causes portions of the legend to be partially off-flan, as is typical for this issue. |
