Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse field is fully occupied by a multi-line Cyrillic inscription in early Russian script, struck across the entire surface of the irregular flan. The legend reads the titulature of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, identifying him as Tsar and Grand Prince of All Rus. The text is arranged in horizontal lines and partially truncated at the flan edges, a typical feature of wire-money coinage where the flan is smaller than the die. Individual letterforms are boldly struck and legible, consistent with Moscow Mint production of the 1636–1645 period.

Aanvullende informatie

Mikhail Fyodorovich, the first Romanov tsar, inherited a monetary system shattered by the Time of Troubles — a decade of civil war, famine, and Polish occupation that had flooded Muscovy with debased foreign coin and counterfeit issues. The wire-cut kopecks struck under his reign were produced by the primitive splash-and-hammer method, with silver wire cut to approximate weight and struck between hand-engraved dies, which accounts for the chronic off-center placement endemic to the type.

The Moscow mint resuming regular production under Mikhail was itself a political signal. Output from these years fed a cash-starved economy still rebuilding from near-total collapse.
