The FAO coin program, launched in the 1960s, commissioned member nations to issue circulating pieces bearing agricultural themes as part of a broader UN effort to publicize the Food and Agriculture Organization's campaigns against world hunger. São Tomé and Príncipe, one of Africa's smallest and most food-import-dependent nations, participated dutifully. The copper-nickel plated steel composition of this 1990 issue marks a cost-reduction shift from the earlier nickel versions — KM#29 — reflecting the country's ongoing fiscal constraints following independence in 1975.
