I have a Russian Wire Kopeck, I believe. Weighs ~0.5g and is 13mm x 7mm. I believe it's Boris Godunov but that is as far as I go. What KG# could it be?

I managed to find out that this is a kopeck of Alexander Mikhailovich.

May be common enough in Russia, but
expat wire Kopecks are scarce in most other countries.

That's a great start!

The only way I know to figure it out is to painstakingly check the lettering reverse (and whatever details you can see obverse) against the examples and the figures over on Numista (unless you already have the book). They begin at the lower part of this page: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ru...mpire-7.html

There are about 50 possibilities, though maybe someone who knows these can help you narrow it down.
