Comment
Reinhold Kaim "Band I.A. Russland Serie-spezial. Die Probemunzen der UdSSR 1921-1983", P 264.Interesting fact
This coin was designed by sculptor and artist, Ivan Dubas, and features an image of the Soviet state emblem on one side and the denomination on the other. The coin was minted in 1956 as a trial strike, which means it was produced in a small quantity to test the die and minting process before mass production. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
