| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Botswana occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield bearing cogwheels symbolising industry, wavy horizontal lines representing water, and a bull's head at the base. Two zebras serve as supporters, each rearing on its hind legs and flanking the shield, with crossed elephant tusks and a knobkerrie behind them. A scroll beneath the supporters bears the national motto PULA in raised lettering. The legend BOTSWANA arcs along the upper rim in bold Latin characters, and the date of issue appears in the lower field below the coat of arms. |

World Food Day was established by the FAO in 1979, three years after Botswana's independence-era coinage was already in circulation — meaning this coin predates the observance it is sometimes associated with in catalog shorthand. The "World Food Day" designation reflects a later commemorative series distinction, not a specific striking occasion.
