| Reverse description | Reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic legend distributed across the irregular flan, reading ЦАРЬ ПЕТР АЛЕКСЕЕВИЧ (Tsar Peter Alexeyevich), identifying the issuing sovereign. The lettering is arranged in compressed horizontal lines filling the available field, executed in the characteristic angular, archaic Cyrillic script typical of late Muscovite wire coinage. Relief is bold but uneven due to the hammered production method, with some letters partially off-flan or weakly struck at the flan edges. No border, inner circle, or decorative elements accompany the legend. This reverse typology continues the centuries-old Russian wire money tradition, representing one of the final issues before Peter I's monetary reform abolished the cheshujka coinage. |
