These cufflinks showcase the obverse of the Soviet 20 kopek coin, minted between 1961 and 1991. Around the edge, the coin reads CCCP — the Cyrillic abbreviation for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). At its center is the Soviet state emblem: a hammer and sickle over a globe, rising above the sun and surrounded by a wreath of wheat topped with a star. The wreath is tied with 15 ribbons, representing the republics that made up the Soviet Union.

Made from copper-nickel, these circulated coins have been professionally soldered into a durable, eye-catching pair of cufflinks. Because they come from everyday circulation in a country that no longer exists, each pair will show its own unique patina and signs of wear — an authentic piece of 20th-century history on your cuffs.
