Got this for I don't remember how much at the flea market. All I remember is it was cheap. It's a pretty nice coin and the only Russian coin I have. The only problems are the damage on and near the final 1 in 1961 and some wear. It's nice how the hammer and sickle are over the globe too bad for them it didn't work out. From what I understand CCCP stands is an abbreviation for the Soviet Union. I'm guessing that's wheat on the obverse and reverse on the sides. Other than that there's really nothing special to point out about the design. Oh and this is worth about $0.30.

CCCP (Cyrillic) = SSSR (Russians actually say "es es es air") = Russian for USSR
