Howdy dubdy96 - Welcome to the Forum !! I moved your post over here so that you might get a better answer. But my books don't show a 50 kopek coin as having been issued in 1922. Are you sure about the date ? If you can, post a pic of the coin and we might be able to help you.
Hi dubdy96, and to CoinTalk. The 2006 Standard Catalog of World Coins lists a Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic 50 kopeks (p.1778) with an 8,224,000 mintage in 1922. It was produced by the Leningrad Mint for the very short-lived RSFSR, created in the interregnum between Czar Nicholas and the USSR. If that's what you have, it should be 9.980 grams of coin silver (.900 fine), with a diameter of ~27mm. The obverse has the country name in cyrillic characters, surrounding a sickle and hammer emblem; and the reverse has "50" and the date in a five-pointed star, surrounded by a wreath and the denomination in cyrillic characters. The initials of A.F. Hartman or P.V. Latishev, who each served as Mintmaster for part of 1922, are on the edge in cyrillic characters either resmbling an inverted "V" followed by an inverted "L", or a Pi symbol with straight legs followed by a Pi symbol with a curved left leg. Combined minage was 8,224,000, plus an unspecified number of proofs. Krause values them at $5 F, $7 VF, $10 XF and $25 Unc., in both variations. The proofs are cataloged at $350 (Hartman) or $250 (Latishev). Please post pictures of all three sides if you can.
