Obverse description The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, displaying the royal palm, rising sun, fasces, Phrygian cap, and oak and laurel branches. A curved legend arching above reads the country name, while the face value appears at the bottom of the field. The weight and fineness are inscribed on either side of the arms, flanking the central device. All legends are rendered in Latin script in a clean, formal typeface consistent with Cuban coinage of the period.

Reverse description A left-facing portrait of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin dominates the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detailing of facial features and hair. To the left of the portrait appears the date 1917, commemorating the October Revolution, while the issue date 1977 and a mintmark appear to the right. A curved legend arching along the upper periphery bears the name of the commemorated event, and the honoree's name appears along the lower periphery. The overall composition follows a formal commemorative medallic style typical of Cuban gold issues of the 1970s.
