International Year of Disabled Persons

Germany · 1981 · 80+40 Pfennig

The stamp features a stylized human figure, partially formed by a wheelchair symbol, with multiple hands reaching towards it, symbolizing support and inclusion. The text 'INTERNATIONALES JAHR DER BEHINDERTEN 1981' is prominent.

Issued by Deutsche Bundespost in 1981 to commemorate the United Nations' International Year of Disabled Persons, promoting awareness and action for the rights and well-being of people with disabilities. The surcharge of 40 Pfennig was likely for a related charitable cause.
