| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic legend arranged in horizontal registers across the irregularly shaped flan, displaying the full royal titulature of Tsar Fyodor I Ivanovich. The inscription, struck in bold relief, reads ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ ФЁДОР ВСЕЯ РУСИ, identifying the ruler as Tsar and Grand Prince of all Rus. The lettering is characteristic of late 16th-century Russian wire-money epigraphy, with archaic letterforms closely compressed to fit the small, lenticular flan. The surface exhibits the naturally uneven texture and partial legend truncation inherent to the hammered wire-money production method. |
