Obverse description Equestrian figure of the Tsar depicted as a mounted lancer, shown in right profile at full gallop on a stylized horse. The rider holds a lance or spear directed forward, rendered in the traditional wire money (cheshuyка) style characteristic of Muscovite coinage. Beneath the hooves of the horse appear Cyrillic letters denoting the regnal year in the Byzantine calendar. The design is executed in shallow relief on an irregularly shaped planchet, consistent with the hand-hammered wire money technique employed at Russian mints of the period.
