| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of the Tsar depicted as a mounted lancer, galloping to the right, with a spear levelled forward in the traditional St. George-derived iconographic style. The rider is rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of early Russian wire money. Cyrillic characters denoting the date in Old Church Slavonic numerical notation appear beneath the horse's hooves in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | Four lines of bold Cyrillic inscription filling the entire flan, rendered in the archaic Muscovite wire-money style with pronounced, deeply struck letterforms. A titlo abbreviation mark appears above the first line, and decorative dots flank certain words as separators. The legend reads the full titular designation of the sovereign, identifying him as Tsar Peter Alexeyevich. The irregular flan edges, a characteristic feature of chekanka wire coinage, partially clip the outermost letters. |
