Text on the reverse side is too small to read, except bottom line of text "V.I. Lenin"
1870-1970 suggests the 100th anniversary of Lenins Birth, probably issued in 1970, as a souvenir token.

It is a medal "for heroic labour", was given to millions of people in 1970. I believe they would appreciate at that time a little extra money for theirs hard work, and not this piece of junk. Over here it costs right now about 20-40 cents.
