| Reverse description | Central field displays the official FAO emblem — an oval logo containing the letters 'F A O' above a stylized wheat sheaf and the motto 'FIAT PANIS' — flanked by the commemorative dates '1945-1995' marking the 50th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization. The large numeral '2' dominates the lower portion of the field, flanked by the denomination in Cyrillic 'ДЕНАРИ' to the left and 'DENARS' in Latin to the right. The bilingual legend 'ЛЕБ ЗА СИТЕ' in Cyrillic and 'FIAT PANIS' in Latin arcs around the upper periphery within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the FAO's campaign to promote food security and agricultural development, this coin appeared just four years after Macedonian independence — a period when the country was navigating international recognition disputes and a Greek trade embargo imposed in 1994 over the name and flag controversy. Coinage itself was a pointed political act in that climate.
The FAO series coins from this era were produced by numerous small nations simultaneously, often with identical thematic briefs but locally specific agricultural references chosen by each issuing authority.
