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 1 Kopeck coin from the Soviet Union, minted between 1948 and 1957, features an interesting design element. On the reverse side of the coin, there is an image of a stalk of wheat, which symbolizes the agricultural industry and the country's focus on farming and agriculture during that time period.
