This exceptional Steel 50 Poisha from Bangladesh represents a significant piece of numismatic history, minted between 1977-1994 during the nation’s formative decades. The coin commemorates the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) with symbolic imagery celebrating Bangladesh’s agricultural heritage and natural resources.

The obverse showcases Bangladesh’s national emblem—a graceful water lily flanked by rice sheaves, crowned with a tea leaf clover and four stars representing the foundational principles of the 1972 constitution: nationalism, secularism, socialism, and democracy. The reverse brilliantly depicts the Hilsa fish (Tenualosa ilisha), pineapple, chicken, and banana—iconic symbols of the nation’s food security and prosperity.

Graded UNC (uncirculated) condition, this stainless steel specimen remains in pristine, new-like state with sharp details and original luster intact. Weighing 2.80 grams and measuring 19.30mm, it’s notably scarce in this exceptional grade. Perfect for collectors of Asian numismatics, commemorative coinage, or those documenting Bangladesh’s post-independence era.
