Reverse description The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field, arranged in horizontal lines across the irregular flan, reading the full titulature of the issuing sovereign. The bold, block-style Cyrillic characters are deeply struck in the wire-money tradition, with letter forms characteristic of early 18th-century Russian ecclesiastical script. The legend is disposed across several registers without a surrounding border, consistent with the cheshуika format. The planchet edges are ragged and uneven, reflecting the hand-cut silver wire blank on which the die impression was struck. No additional decorative elements or mint marks are present in the field.
