1 Pound FAO

Egypt's Food and Agriculture Organization commemorative series ran through the 1970s and into the 1980s, tying coin issues to FAO campaigns promoting agricultural self-sufficiency across the developing world. This 1981 piece was struck during Sadat's final year — he was assassinated in October of that year — amid an Egypt still navigating the economic strains of the Camp David Accords and shifting foreign aid dependencies following the break with Soviet support.
