| Obverse description | A crowned equestrian figure of the Tsar, depicted as a mounted lancer on a galloping horse facing right, in the traditional style of the Russian wire kopeck (cheshuyка). The rider brandishes a spear diagonally, consistent with the long-standing iconography of St. George as adapted for Muscovite and early Imperial coinage. Beneath the horse's hooves, a Cyrillic date inscription appears in the field. The design is rendered in the characteristic crude, irregular style of hand-struck wire money on a small, flattened silver planchet. |

| Reverse description | Seven lines of Cyrillic text filling the entire field of the coin, bearing the full royal titulature of Tsar Peter I. The inscription reads ЦАРЬ ПЕТР АЛЕКСЕЕВИЧЬ ВСЕЯ РОССIИ САМОДЕРЖЕЦЪ, meaning 'Tsar Peter Alexeyevich, Autocrat of All Russia.' The lettering is distributed across the available surface in the compact, somewhat compressed style typical of wire money reverses, with individual letter forms showing the characteristic irregularity of hammered production. No border or decorative elements frame the legend. |
