These dengas were minted both in the period of joint rule of Peter I and Ivan V, and during sole rule of Peter I.  Coins minted after 1698 has lower weight - around 0.16 g.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted during the reign of Peter the Great, who was the ruler of the Russian Empire from 1682 to 1717. Peter the Great is known for his efforts to modernize Russia and bring it in line with Western Europe, and the minting of this coin reflects his efforts to establish a standardized currency system in the empire.
