| Obverse description | Obverse bearing a Cyrillic inscription arranged in three horizontal lines across the irregular silver flan, characteristic of the wire money (cheshuitsy) coinage of Peter I. The legend reads the Cyrillic date ҂АΨГ, denoting the year 1703 in the old Slavonic numeral system. The lettering is boldly struck in relief against a rough, granular field, with characters exhibiting the angular, compact style typical of late Muscovite hammered coinage. The flan edges are irregular and slightly tapered, consistent with the wire-cutting production method. No figural imagery appears on this face; the inscription alone fills the available die area. |
