1979 Italian 100 Lire FAO Issue!


Stainless steel coins are some hard coins to get pictures of! I swear, someone should have paid me to take this. Complaining aside, it's a nice coin that was issued along with the regular design in honor of the Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, and all of their fine work. It features a female head facing left (according to pretty much all of the websites I have visited) on the obverse and a cow nursing a calf plus the date and motto/slogan "Feeding the World" in Italian on the reverse. It is worth about $0.15.
