In 1946 the Russians circulated coins struck at the mint in Leningrad that, according to the local Russian consul, had been used in their mining settlements between 1946 and 1957. Four coins, 10, 15, 20, and 50 kopek, make up a complete set, with measurements of 22, 25, 20 and 22 mm. respectively. The 10 & 15 kopeks are of aluminium-bronze, 20 and 50 kopeks are made of nickel. They all had milling.
