Reverse description An ear of maize with partially peeled husks is depicted in the left portion of the field, rendered in fine relief with naturalistic detail highlighting the kernels and foliage. To the right, a stylized open hand or roof motif in angular form suggests themes of nourishment and shelter. The bold acronym FAO dominates the right-center field in large raised capitals, with the date 1983 inscribed directly below in equally prominent numerals. The design commemorates the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and its mission to combat world hunger, with the engraver's mark visible in the lower right field.
