| Obverse description | Obverse of this wire kopeck (cheshuchka) depicts a mounted horseman — the traditional equestrian figure of the Tsar — shown in profile facing right, armed with a lance or spear, seated upon a rearing horse. The design is rendered in the crude but characteristic style of Russian hammered wire coinage, struck on an irregularly shaped flan cut from a silver wire. The relief is bold and uneven, typical of early 18th-century Russian wire money, with details of the rider and mount only partially legible due to the irregular planchet. A Cyrillic date inscription appears in the field. |
