| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Cyrillic legend arranged across the full surface of the irregularly shaped flan, filling the field entirely in the manner typical of Russian wire kopecks of the late 17th century. The inscription, struck in bold relief, reads the full titulature of Tsar Ioann (Ivan) V Alexeyevich. The text is arranged in three or four horizontal lines and, due to the small flan size, portions of the legend are frequently truncated or partially visible at the edges. |

| Additional information |
Peter I and Ivan V were proclaimed co-tsars in 1682 following the Streltsy uprising, with the elder but mentally incapacitated Ivan nominally sharing power while Peter's half-sister Sophia governed as regent. Wire money of this period carried the name of whichever tsar was designated on the die, and both names appear across the series — this piece bearing Ivan's name despite Peter ultimately holding all real authority after Sophia's removal in 1689. Ivan V died in 1696, ending the co-tsarship.
