Interesting fact
The 10 Paise (FAO) 1975 coin from India was the first circulating commemorative coin issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to commemorate the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Year. It was minted in 1975 and released into circulation in 1976. It's interesting to note that this coin was issued during a time when India was facing severe food shortages and famine, and the FAO was actively involved in providing aid and support to the country. The coin's design features the FAO's emblem on one side and the national emblem of India on the other, symbolizing the collaboration between the two organizations in addressing food security issues.
