| Obverse description | Depiction of a horseman, rendered in the traditional Russian wire money style, facing right and brandishing a spear or lance downward toward a prostrate figure or serpent below. The design is characteristic of the iconic Saint George and the Dragon motif inherited from earlier Muscovite coinage, though on these late wire kopecks the imagery is often stylized and compressed due to the small flan. The relief is bold but irregular, consistent with the hammered production method on a small, roughly oval silver planchet. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a Cyrillic inscription arranged in multiple lines across the irregular flan, reading the royal titulature of the issuing sovereign. The legend is struck in raised relief with bold, angular Cyrillic letterforms typical of early eighteenth-century Russian wire money. The characters are distributed across the available field, with the cramped format of the flan causing some letters to be partially off-flan, a common characteristic of this hammered coinage type. The inscription identifies the ruler as Tsar Petr Alekseevich (Peter I). |
