    From the year 1999, a Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) coin that I have from TURKEY is denominated as 50,000 Lira. I received this coin in a 100-world coin deal from an online retailer (Shop at Home). The obverse shows a native 'tribesman' carrying some sort of tool (if you know more about the obverse, I would love to hear a comment!); XXI Century (21st Century) .FAO. Food Security is inscribed around the man. On the reverse, TURKIYE CUMHURIYETI (Republic of Turkey) is inscribed around a star-and-crescent, a few stalks of wheat, an olive branch, and the coin's denomination and year.
