| Additional information |
False Dmitry I ruled for less than a year before being murdered by Moscow boyars in May 1606, his body dragged through the streets and his ashes reportedly fired from a cannon toward Poland. The Pskov mint was one of several that struck wire money kopecks in his name during this window, making any surviving example a product of one of the shortest reigns in Russian history. Die-struck on irregularly clipped silver wire blanks in the traditional chekanka method, these coins saw genuine circulation before his regime collapsed entirely.
