| Beschrijving keerzijde | A six-line Cyrillic inscription occupying the entire field of the coin, rendered in the compressed schematic lettering characteristic of Russian wire kopecks of the period. The legend reads ЦАРЬ ПЕТР АЛЕКСЕЕВИЧЬ ВСЕЯ РОССIИ САМОДЕРЖЕЦ, identifying the issuer as Tsar Peter Alexeyevich, Autocrat of All Russia. The text is arranged to fill the irregular surface of the hammered flan, with letter forms typical of early eighteenth-century Muscovite mint practice. |

Peter I's wire kopecks — struck by the ancient "fish scale" method of flattening wire and stamping it — were already technological anachronisms by 1709, a deliberate concession to a peasant population deeply suspicious of Western-style milled coinage. Peter had introduced round, machine-struck coins in 1700, but the wire kopeck ran parallel for years simply because rural commerce demanded it. Production finally ceased in 1718, making the 1709 issues among the later survivals of a minting tradition stretching back to Ivan the Terrible.
