Historical Context: Issued by Bangladesh between 1977 and 1980, this 10 Poisha coin circulated during the early post-independence period, specifically under General Ziaur Rahman's presidency. Its FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) designation signifies Bangladesh's participation in a global initiative for food security and agricultural development. For a newly independent, agrarian nation, this theme was profoundly significant, underscoring national efforts towards self-sufficiency and international cooperation in food production.
Artistry: The design, while not attributed to a specific engraver, reflects a utilitarian and modern stylistic approach common to international FAO coin programs. The obverse typically features the national emblem of Bangladesh, depicting a water lily, rice sheaves, and four stars, symbolizing national identity and agricultural prosperity. The reverse prominently displays an agricultural motif, characteristic of FAO issues, often illustrating a farmer or hands nurturing growth, directly advocating for food production.
Technical/Grading: Struck in an Aluminium-Magnesium alloy (97.2% Al, 2.8% Mg), this coin weighs 2 grams and measures 24 millimeters. For grading, high-points include the central details of the water lily and individual rice grains on the national emblem, along with the fine lines of the agricultural imagery on the reverse. Well-struck examples exhibit crisp details despite the relatively soft metal, though minor strike weakness, common for large-diameter aluminium issues, may be observed.
