 The CH date on this Russian wire kopek translates to [7]208 AM, which would normally convert to 1700 AD, but the pre-reform new year was in September, and the calendar officially changed on 1 January 1700, so I suspect that this type was actually issued in the last few months of 1699. (I apologize for the rotated pics. All my CCF photos for a few months were messed up like that for some reason; probably an artifact of different handling of phone rotation. They used to show the right way up, and IIRC I had to rotate them when uploading to get that.) EDIT: it's a tiny little coin. Here's a picture with a few other coins and a dime for scale...
