| Beschrijving voorzijde | Equestrian effigy of the Tsar as a mounted warrior, depicted in profile galloping to the right and wielding a raised spear, rendered in the traditional wire money style characteristic of Muscovite coinage. The figure sits astride a horse in full stride, the composition occupying the irregular flan typical of hand-struck wire kopecks. Below the horse's hooves appear Cyrillic date letters indicating the year 7206 in the Byzantine calendar (1698 AD). The design derives from the longstanding Russian kopeck iconographic tradition evoking Saint George or the sovereign as lance-bearer. |

These wire money kopecks — struck by the ancient "fish scale" method of hammering flattened wire blanks rather than milled discs — were already an anachronism by 1698. Peter I despised them. He considered the primitive technique an embarrassment compared to Western milled coinage, and his monetary reforms of the early 1700s would abolish the method entirely. This piece dates to the last years before that forced modernization, when the old hand-hammering dies were still producing coins in a manner essentially unchanged since Ivan the Terrible.
