| Obverse description | Obverse of this wire money (cheshuitka) depicts a crudely rendered equestrian figure of the Tsar in profile, shown as a mounted rider on horseback, executed in the characteristic schematic style of Russian hammered coinage. The design is struck on an irregularly shaped flan produced by cutting a silver wire, resulting in a roughly oval planchet with uneven edges. The die impression is partially off-center, as is typical for this series, with much of the design lost to the limited flan size. The field surface shows the characteristic striated texture inherent to the wire-money production technique. |
