The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the twelfth series of Thai baht banknotes issued by the Bank of Thailand during the reign of King Rama IX, circulated from 1985 to 1996. The series features King Bhumibol Adulyadej on the obverse across all denominations. The 50 baht note specifically depicts the equestrian statue of King Taksin on the reverse, honoring this 18th-century warrior king who reunified Siam. The series was eventually replaced by the thirteenth series in 1996-1997. These notes were printed on cotton-based paper with traditional security features including watermarks, security threads, and fine intaglio printing. The twelfth series is no longer legal tender but remains widely collected.
