| Obverse description | Equestrian effigy of the Tsar depicted as a mounted lancer, shown in right profile at full gallop on a prancing horse. The rider brandishes a spear and is rendered in the traditional Russian wire money style with bold, stylized relief. Cyrillic date letters appear beneath the horse's hooves in the lower field, denoting the year 1708 in Church Slavonic notation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire irregular flan in the characteristic wire money fashion, with no border or decorative frame. The legend reads 'Царь Петр Алексеевич' (Tsar Pyotr Alekseevich), rendered in bold archaic Cyrillic characters across three lines. The text is separated by dot dividers and displays the angular, deeply struck letterforms typical of early Petrine wire kopecks. The flat, irregular planchet and the densely packed inscription are hallmarks of the chekanka technique used in this series. |
