Kopeck - Dmitry Ivanovich 'False Dmitry I' Pskov, ПС

False Dmitry I held the Russian throne for less than a year before being murdered by boyar conspirators in May 1606, his body subsequently dragged through Moscow's streets and his ashes fired from a cannon toward Poland — the direction from which he had come. Pskov mint output under his name is documented but modest, and attribution to specific reigns within the wire-money kopeck series depends heavily on die study given the absence of dated legends.
