Struck under the FAO coin program, which commissioned member nations to mint issues explicitly tied to food security campaigns — this piece dates to a period when Nepal's agricultural sector was under significant strain from population growth outpacing arable land development. The FAO program, launched in the late 1960s, provided participating mints with design briefs and, in some cases, partial funding, making these coins as much a product of Rome as Kathmandu.
