| Obverse description | Obverse of this wire money (cheshуika) depicts a mounted equestrian figure of the Tsar in profile facing right, shown on horseback with a lance or spear couched downward in the traditional St. George-inspired pose characteristic of Muscovite coinage. The strike, executed by the hammered wire technique on a small irregular silver flan, renders the rider in low relief with visible though worn detail. The date in Church Slavonic Cyrillic numerals (҂АѰВ, corresponding to 1702) appears in the field. The overall design follows the long-established Russian wire kopeck tradition, with the irregular flan shape and crude strike typical of this final series of hammered coinage issued under Peter the Great. |
