| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged in horizontal rows across the entire field, containing the full titles of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich in Old Russian. The legend reads ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ АЛЕКСЕЙ МИХАЙЛОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ, meaning 'Tsar and Grand Prince Alexey Mikhailovich of all Rus.' The lettering is executed in a compressed, archaic Cyrillic style characteristic of mid-17th century Russian hammered coinage, and due to the small flan size, only a portion of the full legend is typically visible on any given specimen. No border or decorative elements frame the inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexey Mikhailovich inherited the throne at sixteen and immediately faced the Solyany Bunt — the Salt Riot of 1648 — a fiscal revolt triggered in part by his government's punishing indirect taxes. The wire-cut kopeck he issued in these years was itself a product of that same strained treasury, struck by hand on irregular silver slugs clipped from imported wire, a technique unchanged since Ivan the Terrible. Each piece is unique in outline, a consequence of the method rather than any mint eccentricity.
