This type was minted at the first mintage stage - early kopeks, the release of which began with the accession of Alexei Mikhailovich. The first stage includes coins minted in the period from 1645 to 1650. Early coins are characterized by a low relief of the image, which explains the very poor preservation of most of the coins.
The first stage kopecks were minted at a weight rate of 0.46 g, and their actual weight is approximately equal to 0.44 g.
