| Reverse description | Reverse bears a three-line Cyrillic inscription reading ЦРЬ ПЁТР АЛЕКСЕЕВИЧЬ (Tsar Peter Alexeyevich), boldly struck across the oval wire-cut flan. The lettering is rendered in the archaic Church Slavonic style typical of Muscovite and early Petrine coinage, with individual characters exhibiting the compressed, angular forms characteristic of hammered wire money dies. The flan edges are ragged and irregular, a defining feature of the wire kopeck (проволочная копейка) production method in which silver wire was cut into small pieces and struck between hand-held dies. Portions of the legend may be partially off-flan due to the nature of the planchet, as is commonly observed on surviving examples of this type. |
