| Obverse description | A mounted horseman, representing the Tsar, depicted in right-facing profile astride a galloping horse, holding a spear in the traditional image of St. George as adapted for Russian wire kopecks. The date in Cyrillic numerals appears beneath the horse's hooves. The design is characteristic of the wire money (cheshуіки) tradition, struck on an irregularly shaped silver planchet with shallow, compressed relief typical of the hammered technique. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the field of the irregularly shaped flan, reading the full title of the Tsar in abbreviated form. The legend identifies the issuing sovereign as Tsar Peter Alekseevich, Autocrat of All Russia. The text is distributed across the available surface in the manner typical of wire kopeck coinage, with no border or decorative framing elements. |
