| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized radiant sun rendered as a wheel of bold geometric rays emanating from a central hub, dominating the field. A countermark applied by the Banco Central del Uruguay occupies the central area, bearing the inscriptions '1967' and '1987' flanking the bank's name in an oval cartouche. The circular legend of the host coin reads 'URUGUAY' along the upper periphery and 'MIL PESOS' along the lower periphery in raised Latin lettering. The design is characteristic of the modernist aesthetic employed on Uruguayan coinage of the mid-twentieth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a grid of nine square panels arranged three-by-three within a raised border, each panel containing stylized pictographic or hieroglyphic-inspired symbols representing agriculture and food production, including depictions of livestock, fish, grain, and farming implements. The composition evokes ancient ideographic scripts and alludes to the universal theme of sustenance championed by the FAO. The legend 'FAO' arcs across the upper periphery and 'FIAT PANIS' along the lower periphery in raised Latin lettering, with the date '1969' appearing in the exergue at the base. The overall design is bold and graphic, reflecting the FAO commemorative coin program's internationally recognized artistic style. |
