| Reverse description | The reverse bears a five-line Cyrillic inscription contained within a dotted border or fragment thereof, presenting the full titulature of Tsar Boris Feodorovich Godunov. The text reads 'ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ БОРИС ФЕДОРОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ' (Tsar and Grand Duke Boris Feodorovich of All Rus), rendered in the abbreviated and ligated orthographic conventions typical of late medieval Russian wire coinage. Due to the small, irregular flan, the legend is typically incomplete on any given example, with only a portion of the inscription visible. The lettering is deeply struck in the archaic Cyrillic script of the period, consistent with contemporary Muscovite minting practice. |
