1 kopeck 1605, with the name of Vasily Shuisky, Swedes in Novgorod, March 1615 - February 1617
Under the horse there should be the letters NRГI - this is the year 1605, but they did not appear on the back of the coin. The coin is identified by the letters and the rider himself. The Swedes, having captured Novgorod, began minting coins. They used the obverse side of the stamp with the name of Vasily Shuisky, and the reverse from False Dmitry I. Therefore, it turns out Vasily Shuisky with the date 1605, although he began to rule only in 1606. That is, the coin turns out to be unusual.
These coins do not have a specific shape, they are very small, which is why they are called “scales” (like fish scales). But it is real ancient coins.
The diameter and thickness for “scale” coins (these are coins before 1700) are approximate, they are common to all coins.
