Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, which is reflected in the coin's design. The obverse features a stylized image of a farmer and a farm, while the reverse depicts the FAO's emblem, a stylized image of a wheat ear surrounded by the organization's name in French, "Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'Alimentation et l'Agriculture." This coin was minted in Burundi, a small country located in the African Great Lakes region, and was in circulation from 1968 to 1971.
