Comment
The orbits around the wreath on the obverse are equal to the number of states in the USSR.When the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic left the Soviet Union in 1956, the state emblem had to be changed to reflect this, and as such, the coins were updated to have one less orbit around the wreath. This is why some 1957 Kopecks have 16 orbits, but most have 15.
Interesting fact
The 1957 Soviet Union 1 Kopeck coin was minted during a time of great change in the country. It was the year that the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, into space, marking the beginning of the Space Age. This coin is a small but tangible representation of the country's achievements and innovations during that time.
