Issued by the People's Republic of Bangladesh in 1983, this 50 Poisha coin is part of the internationally recognized FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) coin series. Introduced during the country's foundational post-independence period, these circulating commemorative coins were minted to promote global awareness of food security and highlight the young nation's drive toward agricultural self-sufficiency. Many of the stainless steel strikes from this specific era were produced in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa
