| Additional information |
Issued as part of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, which commissioned member states to mint specially designated coins promoting food security and agricultural development. Macedonia's participation came just three years after the country declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 — one of the few entirely peaceful separations from the federation — and the FAO issue served a practical function in building out the new republic's circulating coinage infrastructure during a period when its monetary system was barely established.
