This type was minted at the third mintage stage. The release of late kopeks began with the cessation of minting copper kopecks. Late kopecks are distinguished by a higher relief of the image and inscriptions. Coins of the third period were minted from 1663 to 1676. The weight rate does not differ from the second period of minting and was 0.48 g, with an actual weight of 0.46 g.
