| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a Cuban farmer guiding a traditional wooden plow drawn by a yoke of two oxen across a cultivated field, with palm trees visible in the right background, evoking the island's rural agricultural heritage. The FAO emblem, featuring the organization's characteristic wheat sheaf and globe design, is prominently positioned in the upper central field, accompanied by the commemorative date range 1945-1995 immediately below it, marking the 50th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization. The motto ALIMENTOS PARA TODOS (Food for All) is inscribed in bold letters along the lower periphery of the coin. |

| Additional information |
The Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, launched by the FAO itself in 1968, recruited member nations to issue commemorative pieces carrying agricultural themes, with the organization subsidizing participation to spread its messaging globally. Cuba joined enthusiastically, producing multiple FAO-linked issues across several decades despite its chronic shortage of hard currency — a pointed irony, given the island's persistent food rationing system that was still firmly in place in 1995.
