| Reverse description | A female agricultural worker is depicted standing behind a hand-operated mechanical tractor, ploughing a field to the right, with a mountainous landscape rendered in low relief in the background. The scene conveys the FAO's agricultural development theme and is executed in a realistic, illustrative style typical of mid-20th century commemorative coinage. The denomination legend in Chinese characters appears prominently in the lower portion of the field below the central scene. A continuous beaded border frames the design. |
