Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Paise (FAO) 1970-1971 circulating commemorative coin from India is that it was minted to commemorate the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, which aims to achieve food security and promote sustainable agriculture and rural development. The coin's design features the FAO's emblem on one side and the national emblem of India on the other. This coin is a unique example of a collaboration between the Indian government and an international organization to raise awareness about important global issues.
