| Obverse description | A crowned equestrian figure, representing the Tsar, depicted in profile galloping to the right while wielding a spear or lance — the traditional 'horseman' (ездец) type inherited from medieval Russian coinage. The rider is shown in a dynamic pose atop a prancing horse, with the Cyrillic date letters placed beneath the horse's hooves in the lower field. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of wire-money (чешуйки) production, with the die impression only partially visible due to the small size of the planchet. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field in the traditional Russian wire-money style, with no border or decorative elements. The legend, arranged in horizontal lines across the irregular flan, reads the full royal title of Peter I. The lettering is rendered in an archaic Slavonic chancery script characteristic of early eighteenth-century Moscow mint production, with individual letters boldly struck in relief. Due to the small and irregular planchet, portions of the legend are typically off-flan on any given specimen. |
