| Additional information |
Thailand's 1981 International Year of Disabled Persons, declared by the UN General Assembly, prompted a wave of commemorative issues from member states. Thailand's contribution was a standard-weight circulation commemorative, but the piedfort — struck on a planchet roughly twice the normal thickness — was produced specifically for collector sets and was never released into general commerce. Piedforts of this era were a deliberate revenue strategy by the Thai treasury, marketed heavily through Franklin Mint-era distribution networks to Western collector audiences.
KM#P3 designation confirms catalog classification as a piedfort pattern rather than a regular issue.
