| Reverse description | A multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the entire field, reading the full royal titulature of the co-Tsar Ivan Alexeyevich. The legend is distributed across several lines in the characteristic format of late 17th-century Russian wire kopecks, with the text compressed to fit the irregular flan. |

| Additional information |
During the co-tsardom of Peter I and Ivan V — engineered by the Miloslavsky faction following the Streltsy revolt of 1682 — coins were issued under both names simultaneously, a constitutional fiction that placed the sickly Ivan V nominally above his half-brother. This piece carries Ivan's name despite Peter's eventual absolute supremacy. Wire money production by this point was already an anachronism; Peter would abolish the hammered kopeck entirely by 1718 in favor of milled coinage.
