| Additional information |
Feodor III ruled for just six years before dying at twenty, leaving no heir and triggering the succession crisis that briefly placed two tsars — Ivan V and the young Peter — on the throne simultaneously. These wire money kopecks were struck by the same hammered method used since Ivan the Terrible's monetary reform of 1535, a technique already obsolete across most of Europe by the time Feodor ascended.
The irregular planchets cut from drawn silver wire mean no two pieces are identical in shape, and die alignment is essentially meaningless as a grading criterion for this type.
