| Reverse description | Six lines of Cyrillic text arranged across the full face of the irregular flan, struck in the hammered wire-money tradition. The inscription, typical of Alexey Mikhailovich-era kopecks, reads the full titulature of the tsar: 'Царь и Великий Князь Алексей Михайлович всея Руси' (Tsar and Grand Duke Alexey Mikhailovich of All Russia). The lettering is bold but unevenly impressed due to the hand-hammering technique and irregular planchet shape. Traces of green copper corrosion are visible between the letters, enhancing legibility of individual characters. The field is flat and undecorated, with the text occupying virtually the entire reverse surface. |
