1964 Soviet Union Souvenir Hockey Pin

This is a generic souvenir pin produced by the Soviet Union for the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. Its simple design incorporates the Olympic rings, the date, and a snowflake as the background to the hockey stick and puck depicted on the pin. The individual value of this pin is in the $3.00 to $5.00 USD range, though it can often be obtained for mere pennies (on a per-pin basis) if purchased as part of a group of several Soviet pins sold as a single lot.
