| Additional information |
Issued in the same year Seychelles gained independence from Britain, this FAO-series coin was part of a coordinated Food and Agriculture Organization program that prompted dozens of newly sovereign nations to mint commemorative circulation pieces promoting food security and agricultural development. The Seychelles issue specifically tied into FAO messaging around fisheries and small-island food production — not conventional grain agriculture.
The FAO coinage program, running from the late 1960s through the 1980s, was largely funded and coordinated through the UN agency itself, with participating mints receiving design guidance directly from Rome.
