| 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. The piedfort format, struck at double the standard planchet thickness, was rarely used by the Bank of Sudan and makes this among the more technically unusual pieces in their commemorative program. Pieforts of this era were produced almost exclusively for collectors and diplomatic presentation, with mintages typically in the low hundreds.
