Comments
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 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.
