| Additional information |
The FAO coin program, launched in the 1960s, commissioned member nations to strike issues whose designs promoted food security and agricultural development — a diplomatic project as much as a numismatic one. Cape Verde, independent from Portugal only since 1975, used the program to assert institutional presence on the world stage while the country was still building its central banking infrastructure from scratch.
KM#22 exists in three metal variants; the gold .917 strikes were produced in sharply limited quantities intended for collector and diplomatic distribution rather than circulation.
