Obverse lettering ѰSI
(Translation: Ѱ=700, S=6, I=10)
Reverse description Reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic legend distributed across the entire face of the small, irregularly shaped silver flan, filling the available field in the manner typical of late Russian wire kopecks. The inscription, struck from a hand-cut die, reads the full titulature of the sovereign in Church Slavonic characters. The lettering is bold and raised, though unevenly impressed due to the hand-hammered production method. No pictorial device accompanies the legend; the text alone constitutes the entire reverse design.
