Commemorative 1,500 Lira silver coin issued by Turkey in 1981 as part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) program dedicated to celebrating World Food Day. The obverse features a stylized gazelle or antelope holding an olive branch, accompanied by the inscription “October 16, World Food Day” and the FAO emblem. The design stands out for its modern, symbolic character, with flowing lines and a balanced composition that emphasizes the relationship between nature, agriculture, and food. The reverse displays the face value of 1,500 Lira, surrounded by ears of wheat and olive branches, traditional symbols associated with abundance and agricultural production.

It is a highly representative issue among the international themed coins promoted by the FAO during the final decades of the 20th century.
