For the ominous occasion of His Majesty the King’s 72nd birthday on July 28th, the Bank of Thailand ( BoT ) will issue 10 million commemorative banknotes.
The central bank government, Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, announced on Thursday that the coin would be printed in portrait format and on polymer material to ensure durability and stop counterfeiting.
Beginning on July 23rd, the banknote will be accessible at the BoT Knowledge Center and business and state-owned banks for a value of 100 baht.
The central banks will even display two million booklets, at 10 ringgit each, in which collectors can preserve the coins. All proceed may become presented to His Majesty the King, said Mr Sethaput.
