| 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.
