| Reverse description | Equestrian figure of the Tsar depicted as a mounted warrior, shown facing right at full gallop and brandishing a spear, rendered in the traditional style of the Russian wire kopeck. The horseman's image follows the long-established iconographic convention of the 'Vsadnik' (rider) motif used on Russian kopecks since the reign of Ivan the Terrible. Below the horse's hooves appear Cyrillic date numerals indicating the year 1702 in the Old Church Slavonic numerical system. The design is characteristic of the chekanka (scale-money) technique, with the relief spread unevenly across the irregular flan. |
