Front: King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great (Rama IX, 1927–2016), who reigned from 1946 to 2016 as the ninth monarch of the Chakri Dynasty of Thailand. He is the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history and deeply revered as the father of modern Thailand, overseeing the country's development through decades of political and economic transformation. The Garuda, the national emblem of Thailand, appears in the upper right corner.

Back: King Naresuan the Great (1555–1605) mounted on a war elephant in single combat, depicting the famous 1593 Battle of Nong Sarai where he fought and defeated the Burmese crown prince in elephant-back duel, a pivotal moment in Thai history that secured Ayutthaya independence from Burma. Naresuan is among the most celebrated warrior kings in Thai history, known for liberating Siam from Burmese vassalage.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the Ninth Series issued by the Bank of Thailand from 1969 to 1978, the first series to feature King Bhumibol Adulyadej as the primary portrait subject on all denominations. The series was printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company of London. The reverse celebrates King Naresuan's legendary military prowess and is part of Thailand's tradition of honouring historical monarchs on currency. This 10 baht denomination was widely circulated during the 1970s and is now withdrawn from circulation but remains a popular collector's item representing the modern era of Thai banknote design.
