The FAO coin program, launched in the late 1960s, recruited national mints worldwide to issue commemorative circulation pieces promoting food security and agricultural development under the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's banner. India participated extensively, producing multiple denominations across several years. The 1977 "Save for Development" issue was tied to FAO's broader push linking personal savings to national agricultural investment — a messaging campaign aimed squarely at rural populations who rarely engaged with formal banking.
KM#31 is frequently misattributed in collections; the series saw enough variant years and denominations that catalogue confusion is routine.
