25 Cents FAO

Issued under the Food and Agriculture Organization's global coin program, which ran through the 1970s and recruited dozens of developing nations to mint coins bearing agricultural themes as a form of soft advocacy for food security initiatives. Liberia's participation reflected the Tolbert administration's broader alignment with international development frameworks during a period when the country was navigating considerable pressure between its historical ties to the United States and the wider non-aligned world.

The FAO program itself was largely symbolic — coins entered general circulation rather than funding any specific agricultural project.
