| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the field of the irregular oval flan, reading the titulature of the issuing sovereign in abbreviated form. The bold, raised Cyrillic letters are struck in the archaic script style characteristic of early Petrine wire money, with the legend occupying the majority of the available flan surface. The inscription references Tsar Pyotr Alexeyevich (Peter I), rendered in the traditional formulaic manner of Russian wire kopecks of the period. The flan surface shows the typical uneven texture and irregular edges resulting from the hand-cut wire planchet and hammer-striking technique. No border or decorative elements frame the inscription. |
