Labour Version R1
100th Anniversary of Lenin's Birth

The jubilee medal "For Valiant Labour in Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary since the Birth of Vladimir Il'ich Lenin" (Юбилейная медаль «За доблестный труд в ознаменование 100-летия со дня рождения Владимира Ильича Ленина»; Medal «Za doblestnyj trud v oznamenovanie 100-letija so dnja rozhdenija Vladimira Il'icha Lenina») instituted on 5 November 1969. Over 11 million issued in three versions (labour, military or foreigner's version) in two variations (with or without letters LMD denoting Leningrad mint on reverse side of ring).

The labour version was awarded to all persons in state service on the occasion of Lenin's 100th Birthday, April 1970 (about 9 million).

The rarest had only 5000 issued to foreigners only (with no lettering at top of reverse). I have all in my collection.
