| Additional information |
From 1682 to 1696, Russia operated under a dual tsardom — Ivan V and Peter I ruled jointly, with the Regent Sophia holding practical power until her removal in 1689. Wire money of this period reflects that constitutional awkwardness directly: some pieces were struck in Ivan's name, some in Peter's, and the attribution of individual coins to one tsar or the other remains a persistent cataloging problem given the crudeness of the wire-money flan and the variability of die alignment on any given strike.
Production used the centuries-old technique of hammering cut wire blanks — no two flans identical in shape.
