| Obverse description | A crowned equestrian figure representing the Tsar, depicted in profile riding a galloping horse to the right and brandishing a spear. The design is rendered in the traditional wire money (chekanka) style, with a schematic, elongated form characteristic of late Muscovite and early Petrine coinage. The date inscription in Cyrillic numerals appears beneath the horse's hooves in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the narrow, irregular flan, presenting the full royal titulature of the sovereign. The legend reads ЦАРЬ ПЕТР АЛЕКСЕЕВИЧЬ ВСЕЯ РОССIИ САМОДЕРЖЕЦ, translating as 'Tsar Peter Alekseevich, Autocrat of all Russia.' The text is distributed across the available surface in the manner typical of wire kopecks of this period, without a formal border or decorative frame. |
