| Obverse description | A Macedonian Sharplaninec (sheepdog) stands in profile facing left atop a grassy mound, rendered in fine relief at the center of the field. The bilingual circular legend reads 'РЕПУБЛИКА МАКЕДОНИЈА' in Cyrillic along the upper arc and 'REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA' in Latin script along the lower arc, both separated by small dot ornaments. The date '1995' is inscribed in the exergue below the animal. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |

Issued as part of Macedonia's FAO World Food Summit coinage in 1995, this piece belongs to a broader international program that prompted dozens of countries to release commemorative circulation strikes tied to global food security initiatives. Macedonia, having declared independence from Yugoslavia only in 1991 and still navigating international recognition disputes — Greece blocked its admission to the UN under the name "Macedonia" until a compromise designation was reached — used participation in supranational programs like this one as a quiet form of diplomatic normalization. KM#5a distinguishes this from the base 1 Denar type by alloy alone.
