| Additional information |
Thailand issued this coin under the FAO's ongoing "Food for All" campaign, which pressured member governments throughout the 1970s to mint commemorative pieces directing public attention toward global food security. Queen Sirikit's involvement was not ceremonial — she had become an active patron of agricultural development projects in rural Thailand, and her association with FAO programming gave the issue genuine institutional weight rather than the hollow diplomacy that characterized many national FAO releases of the same period.
