International Year for Disabled Persons - 25c
The United Nations designated 1981 as a special year to recognise the large numbers of disabled people in the community. The theme of the International Year was "Full Participation and Equality". The official emblem chosen represents two people holding hands in solidarity and support of each other in a position of equality. It symbolises equality, hope and support. The surrounding leaves are taken from the United Nations emblem.
