| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic legend arranged in horizontal registers across the entire face of the irregularly shaped flan, in the customary format of Russian wire kopecks of the period. The inscription names the co-ruling Tsar Ivan V Alexeyevich with his full royal titulature, reading 'Tsar and Grand Prince Ioann Alexeyevich of all Rus'. The bold, somewhat compressed letterforms are characteristic of the Moscow Mint's hammered wire coinage of the late seventeenth century. |

| Additional information |
During the years 1682 to 1696, Russia operated under a peculiar dual-tsardom: Peter I and his half-brother Ivan V were nominally co-rulers, with the regent Sophia Alekseyevna wielding actual power until Peter's coup in 1689. Wire money of this period was struck in the names of both tsars separately, meaning copecks exist citing Ivan alone, Peter alone, or both — a direct artifact of political negotiation rather than minting convenience. Ivan V was mentally and physically incapacitated for most of his reign and died in 1696, after which his coinage types ceased entirely.
