The two Yemens: issued and unissued IYDP designs of 1981

[<k>]

Unadopted sketches for the 1981 IYDP (International Year of Disabled Persons) coins of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen.

I do not know who made these sketches.

However, Michael Rizzello was responsible for the issued designs, so it is possible the sketches were his.

The sketches are numbered, but I do not have any of the missing numbers.
