Comment

This is quite common type (no rarity), but due to an error in the catalog of Kleshchinov and Grishin (the images of the reverse stamp No. 5 and No. 6 are mixed up), it is often taken for KG#204 - a coin whose existence has not been confirmed.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin featuring Boris Godunov is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Russia. Boris Godunov was a powerful advisor to Tsar Fedor I, but he became embroiled in a power struggle that led to his death in 1605. Despite this, the coin bearing his image continued to be minted and circulated, making it a unique piece of Russian history.
