| Obverse description | Armored equestrian figure of the Tsar, depicted as a warrior-prince bearing a lance, mounted on a galloping horse facing right. The rider is rendered in the traditional Russian wire money style, with bold, stylized strokes characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. The design occupies the entirety of the irregular flan, with portions of the legend visible around the periphery. This iconographic type derives from the earlier Muscovite 'kopeck' tradition representing the sovereign as Saint George-like champion. |

| Reverse description | Four lines of Cyrillic legend filling the entire field of the irregular flan, reading the full royal titulature of Tsar Peter Alexeyevich. The inscription is struck in the characteristic bold, compressed Cyrillic lettering typical of late 17th-century Russian wire money. The text is distributed across the flan without a border, and partial letters appear at the edges due to the irregular shape of the planchet. The reverse carries no imagery, the royal title itself serving as the sole design element. |
