| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic legend arranged in three horizontal registers across the irregular flan, characteristic of wire kopecks of this period. The inscription reads the full titular designation of the sovereign, identifying him as Tsar Peter Alexeyevich. The lettering is bold and slightly irregular in alignment due to the hand-struck nature of the flan, with individual characters showing typical die-cutting style of early eighteenth-century Russian hammered coinage. |

Peter I's wire kopecks — struck by the ancient "chekanka" hammered method, where a blob of metal was placed on a die and struck freehand — were already anachronistic by 1703. Peter despised them, calling them "fish scales" for their irregular oval shape, and was actively dismantling the old monetary system in favor of Western-style milled coinage. The wire kopeck survived into 1718 purely from practical necessity; the new machinery couldn't yet produce small denominations at the volume required.
The 1703 issues are among the final years before Peter's minting reforms rendered this denomination obsolete. Die alignment on wire kopecks is essentially meaningless — the strike was never controlled for rotation.
