Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 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 side, with the Soviet Union's national emblem on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1953 as a trial strike, and only a limited number of coins were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
