Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted during the reign of False Dmitry I, who was an imposter claiming to be the son of Ivan the Terrible and who attempted to seize the Russian throne in the early 17th century. Despite his short-lived rule, he was able to mint a number of coins, including this kopeck, which bears his name and title. This coin is a rare example of currency from this brief and tumultuous period in Russian history.
