Brazil 1 centavo FAO series Soja Plant MS64 PCGS steel coin 1979

The 1979 Brazil 1 Centavo coin from the FAO series is a remarkable example of how numismatics can promote global awareness. Minted in steel and graded MS64 by PCGS, this piece celebrates the partnership between Brazil and the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization. The obverse features a detailed depiction of a soybean plant, symbolizing agricultural growth and food sustainability, with the country name “BRASIL” above and finely rendered leaves and pods that reflect Brazil’s natural abundance. The reverse bears the denomination “1 Centavo” and the year 1979, set in a clean and balanced design typical of late 20th-century Brazilian coinage. This coin belongs to the FAO “Food for All” program, launched to highlight the importance of nutrition and agricultural progress worldwide. Well preserved in near-gem condition, it combines minimalist beauty with historical and educational value—an excellent addition to any thematic or world collection.
