Additional information

The Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, launched by the United Nations in the late 1960s, recruited issuing authorities worldwide to mint specially designated pieces promoting agricultural development goals. Taiwan's participation in 1969 placed it in politically awkward company — the FAO recognized the People's Republic rather than the Republic of China, yet the Central Bank of China issued this piece regardless, a quiet assertion of legitimacy through multilateral engagement.
