| Obverse description | Large irregular square copper plate bearing five applied circular stamps: one central stamp and four corner stamps. The central stamp contains a circular legend in Cyrillic reading ЦЕНА ПОЛТIНА ЕКАТЕРIНБУРХЪ 1726, denoting the value, mint, and date within a raised border. Each of the four corner stamps displays the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle, the heraldic emblem of the Romanov dynasty, rendered in relief within a beaded or plain circular border. The flat field of the plate exhibits characteristic surface texture from the casting process, consistent with the Ekaterinburg plate money coinage tradition introduced during the reign of Catherine I. |
