| Obverse description | A mounted equestrian figure, representing the Tsar, depicted in full stride on a galloping horse facing right, with a raised spear or lance extending diagonally across the field — a motif rooted in the traditional Muscovite image of St. George. The design is struck on an irregularly shaped flan typical of wire money (chekha), with the relief somewhat flattened and the outlines of the horseman partially off-flan due to the hammered production method. The date ҂АѰВ (1702 in Cyrillic numeral notation) appears in the field. The overall style reflects the archaic Russian wire kopeck tradition, with no border or decorative framing. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the field in abbreviated form, giving the full titulature of Tsar Peter Alexeyevich. The legend reads in abbreviated Cyrillic script across several lines, identifying the ruler as Tsar and Grand Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich of all Rus. The text is characteristic of Russian wire kopecks of this period, with letters compressed and partially abbreviated to fit the small, irregular flan. Strike quality is typical of hammered coinage, with some letters weakly impressed or partially off-flan. |
