Interesting fact

The 5 Cruzeiros (FAO) 1985 coin from Brazil was designed by artist José Oiticica, who was known for his work in sculpture and medal design. The coin's design features a stylized image of a farmer and a farm landscape on one side, and the coat of arms of Brazil on the other. The coin was issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, and a portion of the proceeds from its sale went towards supporting the organization's efforts to combat hunger and promote sustainable agriculture around the world.
