Before the Hammer & Sickle was adopted as an appropriate symbol for the vanguard of Marxism (Socialism and Communism) the original proposal was for the Hammer and Plow. After a search of many years I finally found an example in numismatic form. The reverse has been described as Lenin, presumably reentering Russia through Finland. The obverse legend is: "Comrades! Lets tell all the world about Socialism! [7.11.1918.; Медаль СССР - Оповестим Мир о Социализме]
This very scarce medal was issued on the upcoming 1st Anniversary of the October 1917 Revolution. Made of bronze, it's 6.3g 28mm.
