Comment
The coins of False Dmitry I and False Dmitry II were minted with one pair of dies. The only difference is the weight: heavier than 0.70g can be attributed to False Dmitry IIhttp://silver-copeck.ru/207.html
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Kopeck - Dmitri Ivanovich (False Dmitri II; Pskov) ND (1608) from Russian Empire made of Silver weighing 0.72 g is that it was issued during a time of political turmoil in Russia. The coin was minted during the reign of False Dmitri II, who was a pretender to the Russian throne and was known for his attempts to overthrow the ruling Romanov dynasty. Despite his efforts, False Dmitri II was ultimately unsuccessful and was killed in 1610, just two years after the coin was minted. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from a pivotal moment in Russian history.
