| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a full-figure scene of a male laboratory worker or technician in a sleeveless garment, shown in three-quarter view examining a flask or spherical vessel held up to eye level with his right hand, while his left hand steadies a scientific instrument, likely a balance or measuring device, to his right. The composition is rendered in a bold engraved style consistent with FAO commemorative coinage of the period, emphasizing themes of scientific progress and development. The date '1980' is inscribed in large numerals along the upper rim. The field is otherwise unadorned, giving prominence to the figurative design. |
