Descrizione del rovescio	Central field features a boldly rendered head of a Barbary sheep (aoudad, Ammotragus lervia) in left profile, its large curling horn occupying much of the design area, rendered in a stylised yet naturalistic manner. The border is composed of a continuous repeating geometric meander pattern encircling the entire periphery. The date '1987' in Latin numerals is inscribed below the animal motif at the base of the central field.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Issued as part of the FAO coin program, a United Nations initiative that ran from the late 1960s onward and persuaded central banks worldwide to mint circulating coins carrying agricultural themes in exchange for modest FAO funding and international recognition. Algeria participated sporadically in the program across several decades. By 1987, the country was deep into the post-boom contraction that followed the collapse of global oil prices in 1986 — a crash that cut Algerian state revenues by roughly half and triggered severe austerity across public institutions.
