| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a crowned equestrian figure of the Tsar in profile, shown riding to the right and brandishing a lance or spear downward toward a serpent or fallen foe beneath the horse's hooves, rendered in the archaic flat relief style characteristic of late Muscovite wire money. The rider wears a crown and robes, consistent with the traditional iconography of the sovereign as warrior-prince inherited from earlier Russian coinage. The mint mark 'СН' (denoting the Old Mint, Moscow) appears to the left of the equestrian design in Cyrillic characters. The overall flan is irregular and elongated, typical of the wire-cut ('cheshuyka') production technique. The relief is shallow but bold, with the design occupying nearly the entire available surface of the planchet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peter I's copper coinage reform of 1700 is well documented, but the silver kopeck of the same year occupies an awkward transitional moment — it was among the last issues produced by the old wire-money technique, hand-cut from silver rod and struck between dies, a medieval method unchanged in Russia for centuries. Within two years, Peter's sweeping monetary overhaul would render this production method obsolete entirely, replacing it with milled coinage on Western European machinery acquired partly through his own Grand Embassy travels of 1697–98.
