Additional information

World Food Day was established by the FAO in 1979 and first observed on October 16, 1981 — the date marking the organization's founding in 1945. Several nations issued commemorative silver pieces for that inaugural observance, and Seychelles was among them. The .500 fineness is notably low for a commemorative silver issue of this period, when most comparable programs used .925 or .999, likely reflecting a cost-conscious decision by a small island nation with limited hard currency reserves.
