| Obverse description | Depicted on the obverse in the traditional Russian wire money style is a mounted warrior — conventionally identified as St. George or the Tsar on horseback — shown in right-facing profile, mounted on a rearing horse and brandishing a spear or lance diagonally across the field. The figure wears a helmet and armored attire rendered in the characteristically schematic, low-relief manner of late Muscovite hammered coinage. The flan is irregular in outline, as typical of chekanka wire-cut technique, with the design partially off-center due to the nature of the production method. The mint mark abbreviation СН appears in the field, denoting the mintmaster or mint officina responsible for this issue. |
