| Additional information |
Peter I introduced Western-style milled coinage in 1700 as part of his broader monetary overhaul, but the silver kopeck issued that year occupied an awkward transitional position — retaining the wire-money aesthetic of the old hand-struck scales while being produced on properly prepared planchets. The reform was never truly completed for small denominations; copper would eventually replace silver kopecks entirely by 1704, making this issue one of the last silver kopecks struck under any tsar.
