This is a fascinating grouping of five authentic Soviet-era collectibles, including four enamel pins and one piece of Soviet currency. These items date from the height of the USSR and offer a window into the civic pride, commemorative traditions, and visual culture of the period.

Included is an original USSR 10 Ruble banknote from 1961, featuring a portrait of Vladimir Lenin, one of the most recognizable designs of Soviet currency, still popular among collectors of Cold War-era ephemera.

Also featured are three vibrant USSR city crest enamel lapel pins, each highlighting the heraldry of historic Russian cities:

• Yaroslavl (red background, white bear with axe), marked “Ц20k” on the reverse.

• Tikhvin (green background, golden stag), marked “Ц25k” on reverse.

• Novgorod – 859 (red background with two bears flanking fish), also marked “25k”, likely indicating a 25th anniversary production.

Accompanying these is a bold black-and-gold circular CMP pinback badge of unknown origin. It may represent a Soviet industrial, military, or organizational affiliation, with a stylized design evocative of mid-20th-century emblems.
