| Reverse description | Central design features the International Symbol of Access — a stylized triangular emblem representing disabled persons — flanked on either side by laurel branches forming a wreath in the lower field. The denomination '2500 BAHT' appears across the center, with 'THAILAND' arching above and the date '1983' positioned in the exergue. A bilingual circular legend in Thai and Latin script surrounds the design, reading 'ปีสากลคนพิการ พ.ศ. ๒๕๒๖ ประเทศไทย' and 'INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF DISABLED PERSONS'. |

| Additional information |
Thailand's participation in the UN's 1981 International Year of Disabled Persons prompted this issue, though it arrived two years after the designated year — a scheduling gap common among Thai commemorative gold programs of the period, where royal approval processes and mint scheduling frequently pushed releases past the nominal anniversary date.
The .9166 fineness places it in the traditional 22-karat standard used consistently by the Royal Thai Mint for gold commemoratives under Rama IX, whose reign produced one of the most prolific commemorative coinage programs of any twentieth-century monarchy.
