| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the field in the customary format of Russian wire kopecks of the period, giving the full titulature of the issuing sovereign. The legend reads ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ БОРИС ФЕДОРОВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ, translating as 'Tsar and Grand Prince Boris Feodorovich of all Rus'. The text is distributed across several lines in a compressed, angular Cyrillic script, filling the available surface of the irregular flan. No border or decorative elements are present, consistent with the hammered wire money tradition. The relief is bold but uneven, reflecting the hand-struck nature of the planchet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Boris Godunov's reign lasted just seven years, and his wire money — produced by the traditional Russian chekanka method of cutting rod into small blanks and striking with a handmade die — was minted at Novgorod under tight controls meant to curb the counterfeiting that had plagued earlier reigns. The ГЕ mint mark identifies Novgorod production, with the Cyrillic date НРАI converting to 7111 in the Byzantine calendar, placing this piece in 1603.
Godunov died in April 1605, within two years of this coin's striking, as the Time of Troubles consumed the dynasty he had fought to establish.
