| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged across the entire field, reading the full title of the issuing ruler: 'Князь Великий Иван всея Руси' (Grand Prince Ivan of all Russia). The text is distributed across several lines in the compact format typical of wire kopecks of this period, with no border or decorative frame. The lettering is boldly struck but may show slight weakness or doubling at the edges due to the irregular flan and hand-hammered technique. This reverse legend style is consistent with coins issued under Ivan IV during his minority rule, before adoption of the Tsar title in 1547. |
