| Obverse description | Obverse of this wire money (chekha) depicts a mounted horseman — the traditional equestrian figure of the Russian tsar — shown in right profile, armed with a lance couched forward and seated upon a galloping horse. The design is rendered in the archaic, highly stylized manner characteristic of Muscovite wire kopecks, struck from a flattened silver wire planchet, resulting in an irregular oval flan with softly defined raised relief. The date in Church Slavonic numerals (҂АѰВ = 1702) appears in the field, distributed around the rider. The overall composition retains the medieval iconographic tradition of the mounted sovereign, consistent with the long-standing die type used on Russian wire kopecks. |
