Obverse description A mounted Tsar depicted as a warrior-horseman, galloping to the right while wielding a spear in a raised position, rendered in the traditional Russian wire money style. The figure is executed in low relief with bold, schematic strokes characteristic of late 17th-century hammered coinage. Abbreviated Cyrillic letters appear beneath the horse's hooves, denoting the mint and issuing authority. The flan is irregular in outline, as typical of wire kopecks produced from rolled silver rod.

Reverse description The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field of the irregular flan, presented in the bold, compressed lettering characteristic of Russian wire money of the late 17th century. The legend, distributed across several lines in an abbreviated form, records the full titulature of Tsar Peter Alexeyevich. The text is deeply struck in relief with slightly uneven alignment, a natural consequence of the hand-hammered production technique. The flan edges are ragged and uneven, consistent with wire kopeck manufacture.
