Interesting fact

The Pattern 3 Kopecks coin was designed by sculptor and engraver, Ivan Dubas, and features an image of a young girl holding a sheaf of wheat on the obverse side, and 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, the Pattern 3 Kopecks coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
