This year, the newly-formed USSR printed penny coins of various denominations, starting with a silver fifty kopeks (50 kopecks) and ending with a copper coin worth half a penny.
The weights of the coins were borrowed from the royal designs, and this was due to the technical features of the equipment on which they were minted.
Until July 1925 half a penny, 1 and 2 kopecks were minted from copper. Since July, they used aluminum alloy (10%) and copper (90%), as a result of which the coins became lighter and their color became golden.
