| Beschrijving voorzijde | Obverse of this wire money (cheshuyка) depicts a mounted equestrian figure of the Tsar in armour, shown in right profile, raising a spear or lance in the right hand — the traditional image of a mounted warrior found on Russian kopecks of this period. The strike is characteristic of hammered wire coinage, resulting in an irregular flan with partially visible design elements. The surface shows typical patination and wear consistent with circulation-grade 17th-century Russian silver wire money. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexey Mikhailovich inherited a monetary catastrophe. The Copper Riot of 1662 — triggered by his own government's decision to pay soldiers in debased copper kopecks while demanding silver for taxes — left hundreds dead in Moscow and forced an abrupt reversal of policy. By 1663, copper coinage was abolished entirely, and the mint returned exclusively to silver wire money of the type catalogued here. These tiny hammered pieces, cut from drawn wire and struck between hand-cut dies, are the direct consequence of that failed experiment.
