Comment
Copper-zinc-nickel alloy.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Kopecks (Trial Strike) 1953 from Soviet Union (Russia) made of Nickel brass weighing 3.59g is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted for circulation. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Joseph Stalin, while the reverse depicts a shield with the Soviet Union's coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath. This design was only used for a small number of trial strikes, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
