| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cyrillic inscription arranged in three horizontal lines across the irregular oval flan, reading ЦАРЬ ПЕТР АЛЕКСЕЕВИЧ (Tsar Peter Alexeyevich), struck in bold relief characteristic of the wire money (chekhi) hammering technique. The lettering fills virtually the entire field, with individual characters rendered in the archaic Muscovite style typical of early Petrine coinage. The flan edges are ragged and uneven, a hallmark of the hand-cut wire planchet production method. A small decorative ornament or mint mark appears at the lower right of the inscription. |

Peter I's wire kopecks — struck by the ancient "fish scale" method of hammering slugs cut from drawn silver wire — were already anachronistic by 1702. Peter loathed them. He considered the tiny, irregular pieces an embarrassment to a modernizing empire, and within a decade he abolished the denomination entirely in favor of round, machine-struck coinage. The 1702 issues thus fall near the end of a minting tradition stretching back to Ivan the Terrible.
Dating on these pieces follows the Slavonic anno mundi calendar, rendered in Cyrillic numerals — the switch to Arabic numerals on Russian coinage came only with the reformed series after 1718.
