Kopeck - Peter I

正面描述	Equestrian figure of the Tsar depicted as a mounted horseman, galloping to the right while brandishing a spear, rendered in the traditional wire money style with crude but characteristic hammered relief. Cyrillic letters appear beneath the horse's hooves, forming part of the date inscription in the field below the rider.

附加信息	Peter I's wire kopecks — the long-running "cheshuykas" hand-struck on flattened silver wire — were already an anachronism by 1717, a medieval technique surviving into the eighteenth century purely by institutional inertia. Peter despised them. He had been pushing milled coinage since 1700, and these tiny slivers continued circulating largely because rural populations distrusted the new round coins. Production of the wire kopeck was finally halted in 1718, making this among the last examples of a type struck continuously since Ivan the Terrible.
