| Additional information |
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta issues coins as a sovereign entity despite holding no territory, a legal status rooted in its 1961 recognition by Italy and subsequent bilateral agreements with over 100 states. This 1981 scudo was struck to mark World Food Day, established that same year by the FAO on October 16th — the anniversary of the organization's 1945 founding. The Order's humanitarian mandate made it a natural issuer for such a commemorative, given its centuries-old role in operating hospitals and relief missions.
