Comment

The coat of arms of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is surmounted by a cotton plant and bears the text "Peace and Justice" in Latin. The centerpiece is based on the colonial badge in use from 1907 to 1979 and features two women in classical Roman dress. The one on the heraldic right stands holding an olive branch, and the one on the left holds scales of justice and kneels before a gold altar situated between them.

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, which aims to achieve food security and promote sustainable agriculture and development. The coin's design features the FAO's emblem on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other, symbolizing the collaboration between the FAO and the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
