India 100 rupees FAO World Food Day PR64 PCGS silver coin 1981

Issued in 1981, this India 100 Rupees silver commemorative coin celebrates World Food Day and reflects the global campaign led by the FAO to raise awareness about hunger, agriculture, and food security. Certified PR64 Deep Cameo by PCGS, the coin combines an important humanitarian message with elegant proof striking and strong visual appeal. The obverse presents a touching rural scene featuring two stylized agricultural workers carrying harvested crops and grain, symbolizing farming, labor, and nourishment. The mirrored proof background highlights the frosted figures, while bilingual inscriptions reading “World Food Day” in Hindi and English appear beside the design. Decorative geometric marks surround the rim, and the date 1981 is positioned below the central figures.

The reverse displays the Lion Capital of Ashoka, India’s national emblem, above the denomination “100 RUPEES.” The surrounding Hindi and English legends identify the Republic of India, while the chakra wheel and national motto beneath the lions reinforce the coin’s patriotic symbolism. World Food Day was established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to promote international cooperation against hunger and malnutrition. This commemorative issue captures that global mission through a simple yet powerful artistic composition focused on agriculture and human effort. Struck in silver with attractive Deep Cameo proof surfaces and preserved in PCGS PR64DCAM condition, this coin is an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of FAO themes, humanitarian history, and modern Indian numismatics.
