| Additional information |
The Maldives Monetary Authority issued several gold commemorative pieces through the early 1980s aimed squarely at the collector market, with distribution handled largely through international numismatic agencies rather than domestic channels. This piece was produced in alignment with the United Nations' International Year of Disabled Persons, which the UN had designated for 1981 — making the 1984 striking a delayed commemorative rather than a contemporaneous one.
Mintages for MMA gold issues of this period were typically very low, and collector demand was modest at issue.
