Obverse description Central field depicts a seated mother nursing an infant, rendered in low relief with flowing hair and draped garments, evoking themes of maternal nurture aligned with the FAO mandate. The engraver's signature appears at lower center of the design. A circular legend surrounds the central motif, reading in Latin script, with the FAO acronym positioned to the right of the central figure.
