| Obverse description | Central design depicts an armored equestrian figure — representing the Tsar — mounted on a galloping horse facing right, wielding a lance or spear downward in the manner of Saint George. The figure is rendered in the traditional wire-money (cheshujka) style with bold, stylized strokes characteristic of late Muscovite hammered coinage. Beneath the horse's hooves appear Cyrillic letters denoting the date. The overall composition is compact and slightly irregular due to the hand-struck flan, with the rider occupying the majority of the available field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field, rendered in the characteristic compact lettering of early 18th-century Russian wire money. The legend reads 'Царь и Великий Князь Петр Алексеевич всея России' (Tsar and Grand Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich of all Rus), presented in abbreviated form across several lines as dictated by the small, irregular flan. The text is arranged without a formal border, consistent with the hammered wire-coin (cheshujka) tradition inherited from earlier Muscovite coinage. |
