Description

The 25 Paise FAO – Rural Women’s Advancement coin was issued by India in 1980 under the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) theme. This coin commemorates the essential role of rural women in agriculture, development, and community progress, aligning with India’s broader FAO initiatives during the 1970s–80s.

Struck in copper‑nickel, the coin features the Ashoka Lion Capital on the obverse and the FAO message “Rural Women’s Advancement” on the reverse. Its higher denomination compared to the 10 Paise issue makes it a distinctive addition to FAO coin collections.
