| Obverse description | A crowned equestrian figure, representing the Tsar, is depicted in right profile mounted on a galloping horse, holding a long spear or lance directed downward. The design is struck in the characteristic wire money style, with the image occupying the full irregular flan. The mint mark and date letters Н РSI appear in the field, denoting the Novgorod mint and the year 7116 (1608) in the Old Russian calendar. The die impression is bold despite the limitations of the hammered flan, with the horse's legs and the rider's crowned head clearly articulated. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged in four to five horizontal registers across the irregular flan, reading the full Tsarist titulature of Vasiliy IV Shuisky. The lettering is struck in relief in the compact, angular script typical of early 17th-century Russian wire money. The inscription fills the entire available field of the planchet, with individual characters closely spaced in the hammered tradition. There is no decorative border or ornamentation; the legend constitutes the sole design element. |
