| Additional information |
Mikhail Romanov's early kopecks were struck under chaotic conditions — the dynasty was barely two years old when this type began production, and the treasury was effectively bankrupt following the Time of Troubles. The Moscow mint (denoted by the МО/СКВА split signature) resumed operations under duress, with silver supply erratic and die-cutting inconsistent across the issue's run.
Wire money of this period was hand-cut from drawn silver rod and hammered between crude dies, meaning no two pieces share an identical shape. The mint signature itself is frequently partially off-flan.
