This type was minted at the second mintage stage from 1650 to 1655, before the monetary reform of 1654. The design of the second stage kopecks differs from the early coins. The schematic representation of the horseman was replaced by a detailed drawing of his face and clothing. The image and inscriptions have become more individual, it is much easier to distinguish them from each other.

The kopecks of the second stage were minted at a weight rate of 0.48 g, with an actual weight of approximately 0.46 g.
