Comment
NOTE: also exists as Copper-nickel and Brass Trial Strike Issues.Interesting fact
The 10 kopecks coin from the Soviet Union (Russia) in 1991 was the last coin to be issued before the collapse of the Soviet Union. It features the iconic hammer and sickle symbol on one side and the denomination on the other. This coin was also the first coin to be issued with a copper clad steel composition, which was a departure from the traditional copper-nickel alloy used in previous issues. This change in composition was likely due to the economic challenges faced by the Soviet Union at the time, as copper clad steel was a more cost-effective option. Despite its humble composition, this coin remains a popular collector's item and a symbol of a bygone era.
