Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, and the design on the reverse side of the coin features a stylized image of a farmer and a farm landscape, symbolizing the importance of small-scale farming in India.
