| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tsar Peter I (Peter the Great) facing right, portrayed in a stylized early Petrine manner. The effigy shows the emperor in armor or robes with visible drapery detail. The circular legend surrounding the bust reads in Cyrillic, identifying the ruler as Tsar Peter Alexeyevich, Ruler of All Russia. The legend is punctuated with dots and colons, typical of the early eighteenth-century Russian minting style. The overall design reflects the transitional artistic period between Muscovite and Western European coin engraving traditions. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed eagle displayed in the center of the field, with wings spread and holding the traditional imperial orb and scepter in its talons. The two crowned heads face outward to left and right respectively, surmounted by a single imperial crown above. The circular legend in Cyrillic surrounds the eagle, reading 'Good coin, worth a poltina,' with the date 1710 positioned at the top of the coin. The composition is characteristic of early Petrine coinage, reflecting the transitional heraldic style adopted from Western European models. |
