Most likely, this rare variation was produced in 1985 after the increase of the price from 25 to 30 kopeks. Many producers had to correct the text urgently, and as a result there is no price at all shown on the cap. This is not a defect, because there are similar variations that came from other factories, particularly in Leningrad...
