Foreigner's Version R4
100th Anniversary of Lenin's Birth

Of some 11 million issued in two types and variations (labour or military version with or without letters LMD denoting Leningrad mint on reverse side of ring), this is one of 5000 for foreigners only. I have all in my collection with this one being the rarest with no lettering at top of reverse. Two other foreigner's versions were ever issued (also without lettering at top of reverse): the 30th and 40th Anniversary of the Great Patriotic War.
