Kopeck - Boris Godunov Pskov, ⌉⌈

Boris Godunov's accession in 1598 was itself contested — he was elected Tsar by a zemsky sobor after the death of Feodor I, the last Rurikid, making his coinage politically charged from the outset. The Pskov mint, one of the few regional operations still active under central Muscovite control, struck wire money (chekans) by the same hammered-flan technique unchanged since Ivan III. The ⌉⌈ privy mark distinguishes Pskov production within the reign and is the primary attribution anchor for this type.
