| Beschrijving voorzijde | The State Coat of Arms of the Soviet Union is prominently displayed in the upper field, featuring a hammer and sickle superimposed on a globe, encircled by wheat sheaves bound with ribbons and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The country abbreviation СССР (USSR) appears in large Cyrillic characters across the middle field, with the denomination 5 РУБЛЕЙ (5 Roubles) inscribed below in two lines. The date 1987 is engraved in the lower exergue. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, consistent with proof striking. |

In the lower left field, a multi-line Cyrillic inscription commemorates the anniversary, and in the lower right, a decorative olive branch occupies the field. The overall design is executed in a bold constructivist style characteristic of Soviet commemorative coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of the USSR's coordinated commemorative program for the 70th anniversary of the October Revolution, this piece appeared alongside a broader range of jubilee output that Gosknak and the Leningrad Mint produced in enormous quantities for both domestic circulation and the hard-currency export trade. The Soviet government actively sold commemoratives to Western collectors through Vneshposyltorg, its foreign-trade subsidiary, as a reliable source of foreign exchange throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Surviving examples in high grades are abundant precisely because most were pulled from circulation immediately — or never circulated at all.
