| Additional information |
Issued as part of the FAO's ongoing campaign to promote food security awareness through circulating coinage, this piece was one of dozens of similar issues produced globally during the 1970s at the organization's direct request to member-state central banks. Indonesia's participation reflected both its status as a major rice-producing nation and the government's concurrent transmigration programs aimed at redistributing agricultural labor from Java to the outer islands.
