| Additional information |
The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) coin program, running from the late 1960s through the 1980s, enlisted dozens of developing nations to mint issues whose themes promoted food production, agricultural development, and nutrition awareness. Seychelles participated with this 1981 brass piece, part of a broader push coordinated through the UN agency. The program was more political symbol than monetary policy — member states received design assistance and international visibility in exchange for participation.
KM#43 is a scarce type in circulation grades, as Seychelles' small population meant limited striking volumes.
