Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin[e][f] born Dzhugashvili;[g] 18 December O. 6 December 1878 – 5 March 1953 was a Soviet politician and revolutionary who led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He held power as General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1922 to 1952 and as the fourth premier from 1941 until his death. He initially governed as part of a collective leadership, but consolidated power to become an absolute dictator by the 1930s. Stalin codified the party’s official interpretation of Marxism as Marxism-Leninism, while the totalitarian political system he created is known as Stalinism. The 1951 Soviet Union 20 Kopecks coin, minted during Joseph Stalin’s final years in power, is an intriguing piece of Soviet numismatics. Struck in copper-nickel, the coin features the classic hammer and sickle emblem encircled by wheat sheaves, which symbolized the strength and unity of the Soviet state under Stalin’s leadership. Graded MS 62 by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), this coin is in Mint State condition, indicating it was never circulated and retains its original sharp details and luster, though it may show some light contact marks or imperfections.

The period was marked by continued industrial growth and intense political repression, which makes this coin a valuable historical artifact.
