| Reverse description | A centrally positioned tree with a full leafy canopy dominates the field, its trunk entwined by a rope forming decorative knots — a symbolic motif associated with international solidarity and the 1981 International Year of Disabled Persons. The UN emblem appears in the lower left field and a corresponding circular device at the lower right. The denomination '10 / TEN / POUNDS' is inscribed to the left of the central device in Latin script, while the Arabic equivalent '١٠ / عشرة / جنيهات' appears to the right. The country name in Arabic curves along the upper periphery, and 'D.R. OF SUDAN' is boldly inscribed along the lower border in Latin capitals. |

| Additional information |
The International Year of Disabled Persons, designated by the UN for 1981, prompted a wave of commemorative issues from member states — Sudan among them. These programs were often coordinated through the FAO and UN frameworks that Sudan had already engaged with extensively during the 1970s for agricultural and development-themed coinage.
Struck in the same 28.28g sterling specification adopted widely by Commonwealth and associate nations for commemorative issues of this period, the coin saw minimal circulation and was largely sold directly to collectors through Sudan's issuing authority.
