| Additional information |
Feodor III ruled for just six years before dying at twenty, leaving no heir and triggering the succession crisis that ultimately brought Peter the Great to power. Novodels — restrike productions made at the Imperial Mint for collectors, typically from the 18th and 19th centuries — were commonly created for coins like this one, where original survivors were too rare or too fragile to satisfy collector demand. Whether struck from original dies, recut dies, or entirely new ones varies by piece and is seldom documented with precision.
Fr#42 places this in Friedberg's gold trade coinage listings, though Russian dukat-denomination pieces of this reign saw negligible actual trade circulation.
