| Additional information |
Issued under the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) coinage program, which Pakistan participated in alongside dozens of other developing nations throughout the 1970s. The UN initiative encouraged member states to mint circulating coins bearing agricultural themes as a form of public messaging around food security — a low-cost propaganda exercise dressed as numismatic cooperation.
Pakistan's aluminium issues from this run are frequently found corroded or bent, a direct consequence of the alloy's poor durability in the subcontinent's climate and the rough handling of low-denomination everyday coinage.
