This 10 kopecks coin dated 1961 is part of the change introduced after the 1961 monetary reform. Its light-coloured alloy distinguishes 10, 15 and 20 kopecks from the smaller yellow coins in the same series. The obverse bears the Soviet arms; the reverse combines denomination and date. The date identifies the issue, but die varieties require closer comparison of the arms, numerals and wreath.
