| Beschrijving keerzijde | The numeral '15' is prominently displayed in large raised figures across the upper portion of the field, below which the Cyrillic denomination КОПЕЕК (Kopecks) is inscribed in a straight legend. The four-digit date appears along the lower rim. Two symmetrical grain sprigs flank the denomination and date, their stems meeting at the base of the design, framing the central legends in a simple and functional composition characteristic of Soviet circulation coinage. |

This coin's informal name — "15 kopeks, 15 orbits" — refers to the price of a ride on the Moscow Metro, which held at 15 kopeks from 1961 until the fare system collapsed with the Soviet economy itself. The stability was deliberate political theater: subsidized transit prices were a cornerstone of Soviet social policy, and raising them would have amounted to an admission that the planned economy was failing.
The thirty-year production run with virtually no design change reflects the same logic — monetary stasis as ideological statement.
