This is one of those very rare times that I have needed help with identifying a coin, it is clearly from the Soviet Union with a denomination of one kopek but I can’t find it in any catalogue for an accurate id, it appears to be white metal possibly cupro nickel dated 1926 and is exactly the same dimensions and weight as the circulating kopeks of the time

This one says that it is trial replica, but it is not listed in USSR coin catalogue (from 2004) next to other trials.

Very interesting I’ll have a look for information about them

orecoins.ru are probably the ones printing them.

God only knows, it’s turning into an Agatha Christie mystery

Just to reiterate. It is not copy/replica of silver kopeck trial. Russia did not have silver kopeck for over 200 years at that point.

 

Trial variants listed in catalogue used different alloys, but same faces. Plus catalogue got warning about lack of verifiable information about them.

I’ve added it to the catalogue as a fantasy coin/token
