Michael I was the first Romanov Tsar of all Russia from 1613 until his death in 1645. His claim to the throne came through his great aunt, who was mother of Feodor I, the last ruler of the previous Rurik dynasty. On the obverse is a depiction of the Tsar on horseback holding a spear, while the reverse has an inscription giving his titles of Tsar and Grand Prince. The coins themselves are made of hammered silver wire, but come in Very Fine condition.
