Reverse description The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the irregular flan, reading the full intitulature of the sovereign in abbreviated form. The legend identifies the issuer as Tsar Peter Alexeyevich, rendered in the archaic Muscovite chancery hand typical of wire kopecks of this period. The lettering is bold and slightly uneven due to the hand-hammered striking technique, with individual characters occupying the full height of the flan. No decorative border or exergual line is present, consistent with the wire-money tradition. The image visible in the photograph confirms the characteristic Cyrillic block inscription covering the reverse surface.
