This topic is aimed to Numista collectors interested in FAO Coins... whether only those coins related to your country or from any of the countries issuing FAO Coins, and or specific series like World Food Day, World Fisheries Conference, International Year of the Woman "IYW", etc.
I narrowed my collection to what matter to me since the beginning (Completing 3 specific countries) but ended up a bit bored due to the lack of coins available for swap here in Numista... and later decided to continue with world coins but only limited to the FAO Series... What I found interesting about the series was the number of countries that joined, the kind of coins issues (all kinds believe me), the metal content variety, etc, etc. I think it has all the requirements for a lovely coin collection.
So if you are collecting these babies, get on board and share yours, comment, make offers for swap, etc. etc.
Lets try to keep this topic live and active!
I am open for swaps.

I saw them in the token sextion once, but I am not sure if yours is already in the catalog!
they were minted for the FAO which has their main offices in Rome. All of them has the same wording “Ceres” which I dont know the meaning.
they are considered part of the FAO coinage but under medals as they dont have face value.
I will check my catalog for more information...

Your medallions depict Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture; a fitting theme for FAO commemoratives. Here is a similar one (different diameter and metal) to the one of the left in our catalogue:

I just looked and I only have 10 FAO-themed coins in my entire collection, from 9 countries; Andorra, Ethiopia, Spain, San Marino, Guyana, Comoros, Myanmar, Indonesia and Jamaica. All are base metal coins, nothing fancy.
Not too bad when you collect primarily pre-1945; since the first FAO coins only came out in 1968, 50 years ago.
