Interesting fact
The 25 Poisha (FAO) coin from Bangladesh, issued between 1974 and 1979, features a unique design that showcases the country's agricultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a farmer working in a paddy field, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a rice plant, which is one of the main crops grown in Bangladesh. This design was chosen to highlight the importance of agriculture in the country's economy and to promote the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, which is dedicated to eradicating hunger and malnutrition worldwide.
