| Beschrijving voorzijde | A mounted equestrian figure, representing the Tsar, depicted in profile facing right and riding a galloping horse, with a downward-pointed lance or spear held in the right hand. The design is struck on an irregularly shaped planchet characteristic of wire money (chekhi), resulting in a compressed and partially visible composition. The rendering is schematic and stylized, consistent with the die-engraving conventions of early Russian hammered coinage. The date in Cyrillic numerals appears in the field above or beside the horseman. |

Peter I's wire kopecks — struck by hammering silver wire into a die rather than milling blank planchets — were already an archaic technology when this piece was made. Peter despised them, considering them an embarrassment unworthy of a modernizing empire, and spent the early 1700s systematically replacing the type with Western-style milled coinage. Production of wire kopecks ceased entirely by 1718.
The 0.28g weight reflects deliberate debasement relative to earlier Muscovite standards — a quiet fiscal measure that preceded the formal monetary reforms by less than a decade.
