| Obverse description | A mounted horseman, representing the Tsar, depicted in profile galloping to the right while brandishing a spear, executed in the characteristic schematic wire money style. The figure sits astride a horse shown in full gallop, with the spear raised in an attacking or commanding posture. Cyrillic letters appear beneath the hooves of the horse in the lower field. The design follows the long-established Russian wire kopeck tradition deriving from medieval Muscovite coinage, struck on an irregular planchet cut from a silver wire rod. |
