Interesting fact
The Pattern 15 Kopecks coin was designed by sculptor and engraver, Ivan Dubas, and features an image of a Soviet farmer and a farm worker on the obverse (front side), with the Soviet Union's national emblem on the reverse (back side). The coin was minted in 1956 as a trial strike, which means it was produced in limited quantities and was not intended for circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
