Interesting fact
The Pattern 15 Kopecks coin was designed by sculptor and engraver, Ivan Dubas, and features a unique pattern on the reverse side, which includes a shield with the Soviet Union's coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of wheat and a ribbon with the inscription "15 копеек" (15 kopecks). This design was only used for a short period of time in 1956, before being replaced by a different design, making it a rare and collectible coin for numismatists.
