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 1958 as a trial strike, which means it was produced in a small quantity for testing purposes and not intended for circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
