Kopeck - Peter I / Ivan V with the name of Peter

From 1682 to 1696, Russia was technically ruled by two co-tsars simultaneously: the mentally incapacitated Ivan V and his younger half-brother Peter, then a child. The arrangement was engineered by the Miloslavsky boyar faction following the Streltsy revolt of 1682, with the Regent Sophia holding actual power behind both thrones. Wire-money kopecks of this joint reign were struck with the names of both rulers, though the specific dies bearing Peter's name alone represent a documentary oddity — acknowledging his co-tsarship while the court still considered him the lesser figure.

Sophia was deposed in 1689, and Ivan V died in 1696, after which Peter ruled alone. These fish-scale flans are the last wire kopecks struck before Peter's monetary reforms abolished the type entirely.
