Comments

W 1947 r. reforma walutowa wprowadziła nowe pieniądze papierowe, na które starsze pieniądze papierowe były wymieniane w stosunku 10 do 1. Reforma ta nie miała wpływu na wartość monet.

Liczba wstążek została zmieniona w związku z utworzeniem Mołdawskiej, Estońskiej, Łotewskiej, Litewskiej i Karelo-Fińskiej Socjalistycznej Republiki Radzieckiej w 1946 roku.

Wstążki wokół wieńca na awersie są równe liczbie republik w ZSRR. Kiedy Karelo-Fińska Socjalistyczna Republika Radziecka opuściła Związek Radziecki i stała się częścią Rosyjskiej Federacyjnej Socjalistycznej Republiki Radzieckiej w 1956 roku, godło państwowe zmieniło się, aby to odzwierciedlić, a monety zostały zaktualizowane, aby mieć jedną wstążkę mniej wokół wieńca w 1957 roku.

Jednak niektóre monety z 1956 r. mają już zmniejszoną liczbę wstążek. Niektóre wydania katalogu Krause błędnie określają je jako posiadające rewers Y#123 (a nie awers).

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

In 1947, a currency reform introduced new paper money for which older paper money was exchanged at a rate of 10 to 1. The value of the coins was not affected by this reform.

The amount of ribbons was changed due to the estabilishment of the Moldavian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Karelo-Finnish Socialist Soviet Republics in 1946.

The ribbons around the wreath on the obverse are equal to the number of republics in the USSR. When the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic left the Soviet Union and became part of the Russian Federal Soviet Socialist Republic in 1956, the state emblem changed to reflect this and the coins were updated to have one less ribbon around the wreath in 1957.

However, some 1956 dated coins already bear the reduced number of ribbons. Some editions of the Krause catalog mistakenly refer to these as having the reverse of Y#123 (not the obverse).
