I just love these tiny cuties, this is the second Russian wire coin for me, absolutely best find for today! I have not been able to find out the exact year of this coin, if someone could help me it would be highly appreciated.

The coin is similar to one minted within the reign of Peter the Great; probably 1689-1725 as indicated here: here:https://www.educationalcoin.com/media/amfile/files/(1)imagesalbumsoptrusswirealb.pdf
The legend on the reverse has several close similarities.
Most interesting (and silver) find !!

Sweet find. No wonder those little things would get lost. I can just imagine a leather bag full of them with a tiny hole in one corner.

It was even harder, it was so muddy field, I had just little bit dirt left between my fingers and still getting signal from that. I was going to give up. Luckily I didn't!

Way to go! All I can tell you is that's a hell of a lot older than anything I've ever found. Good work!

I can imagine that it was hard to find even after you got it out of the hole!!!! What a cool piece of history!!!!

Great coin! These are called “чешуя” “cheshuya”. Fish scale in Russian. They come in copper, silver and very rarely gold.
