| Obverse description | Obverse of this wire money (cheshuyка) depicts a mounted equestrian figure of the Tsar in right profile, rendered in the traditional schematic style of early Russian hammered coinage. The rider, representing Tsar Peter I, is shown on horseback with a lance or spear directed downward, consistent with the longstanding iconographic convention inherited from earlier Muscovite kopecks. The design is struck on a characteristically irregular, lenticular flan produced by cutting a silver wire blank, resulting in a compact and somewhat distorted field. The relief is bold but uneven across the surface due to the hand-hammering technique. No border or frame is present, and the design elements fill the available flan without a surrounding legend on this side. |
