The FAO — the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization — was founded in Quebec City in October 1945, and Egypt has been among its most active member states in the Arab world, participating in regional food security programs since the organization's earliest decades. This coin marks the FAO's seventieth anniversary alongside a broader series of commemorative issues released by central banks globally for the occasion. Egypt's choice of .720 silver rather than fine silver is consistent with its domestic commemorative coinage practice of the period, keeping issues accessible while maintaining a precious metal content.
