Additional information

The 1724 copper kopeck sits at an awkward moment in Peter I's monetary reforms — he had already introduced the machine-struck copper series in 1704, but production standards and planchet quality remained inconsistent across the Ekaterinburg, Moscow, and Krasny Mint facilities throughout his reign. This piece is a novodel, meaning it was struck later using original or period-adjacent dies, almost certainly for collector supply during the 18th or 19th century when Imperial Cabinet purchases drove systematic reproduction of early Petrine types.

Novodels of this type were frequently produced at St. Petersburg on carefully prepared planchets, which is why survivors typically show surfaces cleaner than anything that left the mint in 1724.
