| Reverse description | Within a raised inner circle, a standing female figure is depicted facing slightly right, balancing a large bundle of leafy crops atop her head with her right arm raised, evoking the FAO 'Grow More Food' campaign theme. The date appears to the left of the figure and the numeral denomination 25 to the right, both within the inner circle. The upper outer legend reads GROW MORE FOOD, flanked by two five-pointed stars, while the lower outer legend reads TWENTY-FIVE CENTS, all in bold raised lettering along the coin's periphery. |

| Additional information |
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.
