Additional information

Mikhail Romanov's early reign coinage was struck under conditions of acute monetary stress — the Time of Troubles had left Russian mints depleted, silver stocks unreliable, and the economy in pieces. The Moscow Mint resumed production under the new dynasty with wire money technology essentially unchanged since Ivan the Terrible, hammering coins from hand-drawn silver wire cut to weight. МО/СКВА as a two-line mint signature appears on a narrow window of early Romanov issues before abbreviation practices shifted.
