背面描述	A mounted warrior, representing the Tsar, depicted on a galloping horse advancing to the right, brandishing a spear downward in the traditional St. George-derived iconography used on Russian wire kopecks. The rider's figure and horse are rendered in a stylised, abbreviated manner characteristic of hammered wire money dies. The date in Cyrillic numerals appears beneath the horse's hooves. The design occupies the centre of the irregular, flattened flan with no border or legend frame.

附加信息	Peter I's wire kopecks — struck by the ancient "fish-scale" method of hammering blanks cut from drawn silver wire — were already an anachronism by 1705. Peter despised them. He found them embarrassing relics of medieval Muscovy, easily clipped and almost impossible to counterfeit-proof, and he was actively engineering their replacement with a Western-style milled coinage even as the mint continued striking them. Production of the wire kopeck was officially terminated in 1718, making the 1705 issue a product of a monetary system already condemned by its own tsar.
