| Additional information |
Issued as part of the global Food and Agriculture Organization coinage program, which the FAO sponsored throughout the 1970s to promote agricultural development awareness across member nations. Trinidad and Tobago's participation reflected the country's concurrent push to diversify its economy beyond petroleum, which dominated export revenues following the 1973 oil shock and the windfall it delivered to the twin-island state.
