| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-length standing figure of Vladimir Lenin atop a stepped pedestal, his right arm extended forward in a commanding oratorical gesture and his left hand holding a cap or document at his side. Radiating sunburst rays emanate from behind the figure, filling the field and conveying the imagery of revolutionary dawn. A laurel branch is visible in the lower field flanking the pedestal. The curved legend 'СОЮЗ СОВЕТСКИХ СОЦИАЛИСТИЧЕСКИХ РЕСПУБЛИК' (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) arcs around the upper periphery, while the commemorative inscription '60 ЛЕТ' (60 Years) appears in large characters at the bottom of the design. |

| Additional information |
This rouble belongs to the workhorse circulation series struck through the final, faltering years of the Brezhnev administration and well into Gorbachev's first reforms. Gosbank maintained production across multiple years as the Soviet command economy struggled to balance nominal price stability against endemic shortages — the coin circulated in a system where official prices were frozen but goods had quietly disappeared from shelves.
The Y#190.1 and Y#190.2 distinction reflects a documented reverse die variation, not a change in issuing policy.
