There is a single shallow chip to on the reverse to the edge at approx. 6 to 7 o'clock - totally unnoticeable from the front when the plaque is properly displayed in a vertical position.
The plaque is a good example of the evolution of the image of Lenin in official Soviet iconography: he looks far less stern and combative than in the early portraits but not quite as relaxed and benign as in the later ones. This vintage piece can be a good companion piece to a similar round Stalin plaque by any maker.
