| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a mounted horseman — representing the Tsar — astride a galloping horse facing right, holding a spear in the raised right hand in the traditional 'kopeck rider' or 'Yezdets' motif characteristic of early Russian wire money. The figure is rendered in a stylized, flat relief typical of hammered coinage of the period. The mint signature МО/СКВА (Moscow) appears beneath the hooves of the horse, identifying the issuing mint. The design is contained within the irregular, lenticular flan produced by the wire-cutting technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mikhail Romanov's accession in 1613 ended the Time of Troubles — a decade of famine, civil war, and foreign occupation that had gutted Russian minting capacity entirely. These wire money kopecks, hand-struck on irregular silver flans cut from drawn wire, were produced at the Moscow mint as the new dynasty scrambled to reassert fiscal control over a state that had nearly ceased to function. The МО/СКВА mintmark split across two lines is characteristic of this early Romanov Moscow issue.
