Obverse description Two open, cupped hands rendered in high relief flank a central wheelchair accessibility symbol, positioned prominently in the field to evoke care and protection of disabled persons. An Arabic legend arcs along the upper periphery denoting the denomination, while further Arabic inscriptions appear in the lower field referencing the International Year of Disabled Persons. The composition conveys a strong humanitarian theme through bold, sculptural relief work.

Reverse description At centre, a stylised globe rendered with a grid of meridians and parallels is encircled by a laurel wreath, with the date 1981 incused across the equatorial band. Extensive Arabic legends fill the upper field in multiple lines, identifying the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and the international commemorative occasion. A ribbon-shaped cartouche in the lower field bears an additional Arabic inscription. The overall composition reflects the official emblematic style associated with Libyan commemorative coinage of the Gaddafi era.
