| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription occupying the entire field, arranged in horizontal lines across the irregular flan. The legend reads ЦАРЬ И ВЕЛИКИЙ КНЯЗЬ ПЕТР АЛЕКСЕЕВИЧ ВСЕЯ РУСИ, translating as 'Tsar and Grand Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich of all Rus', identifying the issuing ruler. The text is rendered in the traditional Slavonic script of the Muscovite chancellery style, with individual letters often partially off-flan due to the small, misshapen planchet characteristic of wire-struck kopecks of this era. |

| Additional information |
From 1682 to 1696, Russia was nominally ruled by two tsars simultaneously — the sickly Ivan V and his younger half-brother Peter, both elevated after the Streltsy uprising forced a compromise between the Miloslavsky and Naryshkin factions. Wire money of this period was struck under both names, with some dies carrying Peter's name and some Ivan's, reflecting the awkward co-regency brokered largely by Sophia Alexeyevna as regent. At Ivan's death in 1696, Peter became sole ruler and the dual-name coinage ceased entirely.
