Comments

Vladimir Illich Ulianov (aka Lenin - 1870-1924) was the main leader of the Soviet Revolution on October 1917, and a great contributor to communist theory; his contributions are known as "Leninism".
After the Revolution, he was named Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union, till his death.

The templates used for the dies were produced at Spain.

This pattern is trial for the gold coin 10 Pesos, KM# 42, this is the reason on obverse shows "AV.'0.917" (AVRUM= gold), instead of its real material.
