1 Kopeck 11 orbits

The "11 orbits" designation refers to the eleven turns of wheat stalks binding the globe on the reverse — a detail collectors use to distinguish this subtype from earlier Soviet kopeck issues where the stalk count differs. The number of orbits (ribbon ties crossing the stalks) changed across the 1926–1957 series as the official emblem of the USSR was periodically revised to reflect the admission of new Soviet republics, making die attribution essential for accurate cataloging.
