Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a traditional Maldivian fishing boat, known as a "doni," on one side, and the FAO emblem on the other. This design was created to commemorate the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) efforts to promote sustainable fishing practices in the Maldives. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and those interested in Maldivian culture.
