| Reverse description | Five lines of Cyrillic text filling the entire field of the irregular flan, presenting the titulature of Tsar Fyodor Ivanovich in the abbreviated formulaic style standard for Russian kopecks of this period. The inscription reads across multiple lines and identifies the ruler as Tsar and Grand Prince of all Rus. Due to the small size of the flan and the nature of wire-money production, the legend is typically partially struck and may show crowding or truncation at the edges. The lettering is boldly engraved in the Old Church Slavonic Cyrillic tradition consistent with late Rurikid-era coinage. |

| Additional information |
Fyodor I died in January 1598 without an heir, ending the Rurikid dynasty after more than seven centuries. This kopeck was struck in his final regnal year — the last months of a reign effectively managed by Boris Godunov, who would seize the throne within weeks of Fyodor's death. Novgorod's mint was one of the most productive in Muscovy, and wire money of this type circulated well into the following century despite successive monetary reforms.
The В НОР designation identifies this as a Novgorod emission, distinguishable from Moscow and Pskov issues by mint mark placement conventions documented in Grishin-Khudyakov's corpus.
