| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field of the irregular flan, presented in the characteristic blocky, angular letterforms associated with late Muscovite wire money dies. The legend reads, in abbreviated form across four lines, the titulature of Tsar Peter Alexeyevich. The inscription is struck in relief on the flat field, and while partially legible due to the irregular shape of the planchet, the bold characters are clearly defined and consistent with the recorded die type for this issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peter I's wire money kopecks — struck by twisting silver rod into small blanks and impressing them with hand dies — were already an anachronism by 1698. Peter despised them. He found the fish-scale coins embarrassing against the milled coinage of Western Europe, and his reforms would eventually kill the type entirely; the last wire kopecks were struck in 1718. This particular issue falls squarely in the years when Peter was returning from his Grand Embassy to the West, newly obsessed with modernizing every institution he touched, the mint included.
