| Reverse description | Central design portrays a stylized female figure in profile, her diademed head turned to the lower left, raising one arm to support a large wicker basket overflowing with an abundant harvest of grapes, flowers, leaves, and fruit. The composition is executed in a modernist relief style reminiscent of ancient Cypriot terracotta figurines. The denomination numeral 500 appears in the right field beside the figure's raised arm. No additional legend is present on this face, the design alone conveying themes of agricultural abundance in keeping with the FAO commemorative purpose. |
