In 1995
Macedonia issued
two sets of coins to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Each set
consists of three coins the 1, 2 and 5 Denari. The two sets
have
the same designs; a sheep dog on the 1 Denar, a trout on the 2 Denari,
and a lynx on the 5 Denari on the obverse and the FAO logo and
denomination on the reverse. The obverse design was based on
the
regular issue coins of Macedonia, however the legends and size of the
images are different. One of the FAO coin sets was struck in
yellow brass, as is used in the other
circulating coins of Macedonia. The other set was
struck in
a lighter-colored copper-nickel-zinc alloy. Both
sets are
Brilliant Uncirculated and are priced less than half of their current
catalog value!
