| Additional information |
The International Year of Disabled Persons was proclaimed by the United Nations for 1981, with the theme "Full Participation and Equality." Mauritius, like many Commonwealth nations, delayed its commemorative issue into 1982 — the coin acknowledges the year of the program rather than the year of striking. Gold commemoratives from the Bank of Mauritius in this period were produced in strictly limited quantities for collector export, with negligible domestic circulation.
