Comment
Copper-zinc-nickel alloy.Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 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, which means it was not officially released into circulation, but rather produced as a test run to evaluate the design and production process. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
