Reverse description The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field of the irregular flan, rendered in the archaic script style characteristic of Petrine-era wire kopecks. The legend, distributed across several lines and partially visible due to the limited flan surface, reads the full imperial title of Tsar Peter Alexeyevich. The lettering is bold and deeply struck relative to the small planchet, with individual characters showing the hand-cut die work typical of the hammered wire-money tradition. The flan edges are irregular and jagged, a natural result of the chekanka manufacturing process.
