Ethiopia 50 birr Year of Disabled Persons PR67 PCGS silver piedfort coin 1982

The Ethiopia 50 Birr silver piedfort coin issued for the International Year of Disabled Persons (EE1974 / 1982) is a deeply symbolic commemorative piece celebrating compassion, unity, and social awareness. Struck in high-quality Proof finish and certified PR67 DCAM by PCGS, this coin stands out for its mirror-like fields and sharp frosted relief, emphasizing both artistic precision and humanitarian meaning.

The obverse features a powerful composition of two human hands reaching toward one another — one hand extended downward, the other raised upward — symbolizing assistance, care, and human connection. The finely detailed fingers and smooth contours create a sense of movement and emotion. Surrounding the design is the inscription “50 BIRR,” elegantly spaced within a circular border.

The reverse presents a central geometric emblem resembling a stylized triangular harp or support structure, framed by symmetrical laurel branches tied at the base. Encircling the motif are inscriptions in Amharic script, reinforcing the national identity and commemorative purpose. The clean fields and balanced layout enhance the coin’s visual harmony.

As a piedfort issue, this coin is especially desirable among collectors, combining rarity with a meaningful global theme of inclusion and equality.
