Denga - Pyotr I / Ivan V with the name of Ivan

Between 1682 and 1696, Russia was nominally ruled by two tsars simultaneously — the sickly Ivan V and his younger half-brother Peter, later styled "the Great." The arrangement was brokered under the regency of their sister Sophia following the Streltsy revolt of 1682, which left the boyar factions deadlocked. Wire-cut dengas of this period were produced under both royal names in various combinations, making attribution to specific regnal phases genuinely difficult. This particular piece names Ivan, the senior co-tsar, whose mental and physical infirmity meant he performed almost no governing function throughout the entire joint reign.
