Russia - Lot of 30 Silver Wire Coins (Kopek / Denga) - 16th-18th Century - Ivan IV / Mikhail / Peter I Lot Description English: A fascinating historical lot consisting of 30 random silver "wire" coins (cheshui / scales) from the Tsardom of Russia, dating roughly between the 16th and early 18th centuries. These unique, droplet-shaped coins were individually hammered from drawn silver wire, meaning no two examples are exactly alike. The lot includes a mix of rulers from the Tsardom era (potentially including Ivan IV "The Terrible", Mikhail Fedorovich, and Peter the Great before his Westernizing currency reforms). Many pieces show clear remnants of Cyrillic legends naming the Tsar on one side, and the traditional horseman (St. George) on the other. • Country: Tsardom of Russia / Russian Empire • Quantity: 30 Coins (Mixed random lot) • Period: approx. 1500 – 1718 • Denominations: Kopek / Denga mix • Material: Silver • Shape: Irregular / Wire money (Scale coins) • Condition: Mixed conditions, typical for these issues (some off-center strikes, typical for the hammered wire method, clear text fragments on multiple pieces). Covered in a natural historic patina. Please examine the images closely to form your own assessment.
