| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription distributed across the irregular flan in the traditional manner of Russian wire kopecks, identifying the issuing ruler. The bold, deeply struck Cyrillic letters read 'Царь Петр Алексеевич' (Tsar Peter Alexeyevich), arranged in horizontal registers filling the field. The lettering style is archaic and characteristic of late Muscovite script conventions still employed on wire coinage during the early reign of Peter I. The planchet edges are uneven, with partial legend visible due to the limitations of the wire-money striking technique. |
