Original 1957 Soviet 10 Kopecks, carrying the USSR coat of arms with hammer and sickle on one side and the large 10 КОП denomination on the reverse.

1957 is an interesting little transition year: the normal version has 15 ribbons around the Soviet emblem, reflecting the reduction from 16 to 15 Soviet republics.
