Comments

Cuba adheres to celebration for the 40th. anniversary of FAO.

This coin shows a Royal Palm tree, Cuban national tree, a sugar cane plant, the main agricultural production, and a lobster, very important fishing product of the country. Note the FAO 40 years logo, where the "A" is cut, so can be read "FAO", and the "AO" also forms the "40" number.
