| Obverse description | Large square copper plate of irregular form bearing five impressed circular dies: a central denomination stamp and four corner stamps. The four corner impressions each display the imperial double-headed eagle of Russia with spread wings, holding orb and sceptre, with a shield on its breast, all within a beaded circular border. The central circular stamp bears the Cyrillic denomination legend in four lines within a plain field, surrounded by a beaded border, authenticating the monetary value of the plate. This format is characteristic of the Swedish-inspired Russian plate money coinage introduced under Peter I and continued briefly under Catherine I. |
