| Obverse description | Equestrian effigy of the Tsar depicted as a mounted warrior facing right, wearing a crown and robes, holding a lance or spear diagonally across the field, with the horse shown in full stride. The design follows the traditional Russian wire money (cheshuyка) convention, with the image struck on a small irregular flan of hammered silver. Partial Cyrillic lettering indicating the regnal year 1706 (҂ЯΨS) appears around the horseman, distributed across the available field. The relief is bold but uneven, characteristic of the rod-cut planchet and hand-die technique employed at Russian mints of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field of the irregular flan, reading the full royal titulature of Peter I in archaic Church Slavonic lettering. The text, distributed across several horizontal registers, identifies the issuer as Tsar and Grand Prince Peter Alekseevich of All Russia. The lettering is bold and angular in the traditional Muscovite wire-money style, with individual characters varying in depth due to the hand-hammered striking technique. No border, ornamentation, or exergue is present, consistent with the cheshуyka coinage tradition. |
