Hi there,

I'm looking for ID for those coins....with old russian cyrillic language.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards from France

Yes, these are kopecks (flake) of Pre-Petrine Rus'.
These are miniature coins made of silver or copper, and in rare cases, gold. Another name for it is wire money (based on the method of minting it).

The first coin dates back to the reign of Tsar Romanov Mikhail Fedorovich (1613-1645)
The full legend on the reverse reads as follows: "Tsar and Grand Duke Mikhail Fedorovich of All Rus'."
There is only part of the legend on this coin.

I will determine the remaining coins later.
This is not my topic, in this case I use a Ukrainian site where there are good catalogs.

They're known as wire kopecks, because they were made from wire, flattened at the end with pincers with the dies on them that were also used to break off the coin from the wire. This explains why they are regularly off-center. In addition, the script is an old version of Russian that is difficult to impossible to read even for modern Russians.

The second and third coins also date back to the reign of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov.
There are more than 430 varieties of stamps from this period.
The legend is poorly printed on these coins.
