| Additional information |
During the awkward co-tsardom of Peter I and Ivan V, coins were struck under both names simultaneously — a political compromise forced by the Miloslavsky faction following the Streltsy uprising of 1682. Ivan, older but intellectually disabled, was elevated as senior tsar largely to check the influence of Peter's Naryshkin relatives. This piece carries Ivan's name, meaning it was produced under that fiction of dual rule that lasted until Ivan's death in 1696.
These wire-cut chekhi were produced by the ancient hammered method already obsolete across most of Europe, struck on irregular planchets hand-cut from drawn silver wire.
