The 1984 World Fisheries Conference, held in Rome under FAO auspices, prompted a wave of commemorative issues from small island nations with tenuous connections to commercial fishing policy. São Tomé and Príncipe — a two-island state of under 100,000 people at the time — issued this piece as part of that broader numismatic response. The country's own fishing sector was then largely undeveloped, its waters exploited primarily by foreign fleets operating under licensing agreements rather than domestic industry.
