| Obverse lettering | В НО.РД (Translation: Velikiy Novgorod 104) |
| Reverse description | The reverse bears a five-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the full field of the irregular flan, a layout typical of Russian wire kopecks of the late 16th century. The text renders the full royal titulature of Tsar Fyodor I Ivanovich, identifying him as Tsar, Grand Prince, and sovereign of all Russia. The lettering is boldly struck in an archaic Cyrillic hand, with individual characters exhibiting the angular, compressed style characteristic of Novgorod mint issues of this period. The inscription fills the available space without a defined border or exergue, consistent with hammered wire money production. Slight weakness and irregularity in the strike are visible at the flan edges. |
