| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the irregular flan, giving the full titulature of the issuing sovereign in the traditional formula used on Russian wire money. The legend, reading ЦАРЬ ПЕТР АЛЕКСЕЕВИЧЬ ВСЕЯ РОССIИ САМОДЕРЖЕЦ, translates as 'Tsar Peter Alekseevich, Autocrat of All Russia.' The text is rendered in an archaic Cyrillic script and is distributed across the available surface without a formal border or frame, consistent with hammered wire coinage of the period. The lettering style and layout are characteristic of the Moscow mint's production under Peter I prior to monetary reform. |
