<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 7836961, member: 46237&quot;]RSFSR coins are 1921-1923, USSR is 1923-1991. You have a very early USSR poltinnik. The equivalent RSFSR coin would be an AR 50 Kopecks (1921-1922) Y#83. The emblem is a bit different; it will have the hammer and sickle surrounded by wheat and <i>no ribbon</i>. If you look at your poltinnik - each fold of the ribbon going across the wheat sheafs represents a country in the USSR. As the Soviet Union grew with more member states/satellites, the emblem changed to introduce more folds. The key takeaway here is if you see the ribbon it is <i>not</i> RSFSR.</p><p><br /></p><p>RSFSR:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1347469[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>USSR 1923-1936:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1347470[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
