Additional information

Turkey's 1979 FAO issues were part of a broad international program coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organization to promote agricultural development themes through commemorative coinage. Turkey was a consistent participant across multiple denominations that year. The .800 silver specification placed this piece squarely in the mid-tier commemorative category the Turkish mint favored throughout the late 1970s — neither the fine silver used for prestige exports nor the base-metal issues intended for wider domestic distribution.
