| Beschrijving voorzijde | A crowned equestrian figure of the Tsar, depicted as a mounted warrior brandishing a spear, galloping to the right in the traditional wire kopeck style. The rider is rendered in the schematic, elongated manner characteristic of early 18th-century Russian wire money. Cyrillic date characters appear beneath the horse's hooves in the lower field, recording the year in the Old Church Slavonic numerical notation. |

Peter I's wire kopecks — the chekanka series hammered from drawn silver wire — were already anachronistic by 1709, a medieval technology persisting into an empire that had just crushed Sweden at Poltava. Peter despised them, referring to the fish-scale coins as an embarrassment to a modernizing state, and had been pushing milled coinage since the reforms of 1698. The wire kopeck continued anyway, primarily because rural and low-value commerce had no viable substitute yet.
Production ended definitively in 1718 as the milled copper kopeck absorbed everyday transactions entirely.
