| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a Cyrillic inscription arranged in two lines across the irregular flan, reading the royal title and name of the issuing sovereign. A titlo abbreviation mark appears above the abbreviated text, as was conventional in Old Church Slavonic scribal practice. The relief is bold and the lettering characteristic of the hand-cut wire money dies of the early Petrine period. The flan edges are ragged and uneven, consistent with the manufacture of chekanka coinage struck from drawn wire blanks. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peter I's wire kopecks — hand-struck on irregularly shaped silver flans — were a medieval holdover he actively despised. The 1702 issue falls in the middle of his currency reform push: by 1704 he had introduced the round, machine-struck kopeck and effectively killed off the wire coinage entirely. These pieces circulated alongside the new issues only briefly before being recalled and reminted.
The GKH reference split between editions reflects ongoing scholarly disagreement about die attribution for this type.
