Kopeck - Fyodor I Ivanovich Velikiy Novgorod, В НОРS

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.
