| Reverse description | The reverse presents a symbolic FAO composition featuring a flatfish (flounder) in the central field, overlaid by two stalks of maize and a single wheat ear arranged vertically, representing global food production themes. The letters 'F', 'A', and 'O' are disposed around the left and right fields, with the word 'PRÓBA' (trial/pattern) inscribed to the right. The motto 'FIAT PANIS' curves along the lower field, referencing the FAO's founding principle. The overall design is the work of engraver Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz and reflects the artistic style of Polish commemorative coinage of the period. |
