British Commonwealth F.A.O. Circulating Commemorative Coins.

I know that some British Commonwealth countries did issue some circulating coins commemorating the Food & Agriculture Organisation.I can think of two such countries off hand; Isle of Man & Zambia.

The Isle of Man's F.A.O. coin was a 1/2p. dated 1977,which was struck at the Pobjoy Mint.Zambia's F.A.O. coin was a 50 Ngwee dated 1972.I think that Zambia also had one in 1969.

If you can think of any other British Commonwealth countries that issued F.A.O. commemorative coins,can you please post some information including the date(s) & denomination(s)?

Some FAO circiulation coins I can think of:
- singapore 5 cents 1971(that alluminium one)
- tonga 2 seniti 1975, 10 seniti 1979, 1 - 10 seniti 1981... lots from tonga actually.
- swaziland 1 cent, 2 cents 1975
- seychelles 1, 5 cents 1972; 5, 10 cents 1977

... and a lot more.

 

Sorry for the late reply... The Republic of India does have some circulating FAO coins in the denominations of 5 paise, 10 Paise, 20 Paise, 1 Rupee and 2 Rupee coins..
