Obverse description Equestrian figure of the Tsar depicted as a mounted warrior, galloping to the right while wielding a spear in the raised right hand, rendered in the traditional Russian wire-money style with bold, shallow relief on an irregular flan. Cyrillic letters appear beneath the horse's hooves, surmounted by a titlo abbreviation mark above them, denoting the regnal year in Church Slavonic numerals. The design follows the centuries-old Russian chekanka tradition, with the horseman motif serving as the principal device identifying the issuing sovereign. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered wire coinage, resulting in an elongated, lenticular flan with uneven borders and variable surface texture.
