| Obverse description | Front-facing effigy of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), depicted in ceremonial attire adorned with elaborate royal regalia and decorations. The king wears spectacles and is shown in a formal portrait style characteristic of Thai commemorative coinage. A circular Thai-script legend surrounds the effigy along the rim, giving the king's full royal titulature. At the bottom of the field, below the portrait, the inscription 'รัชกาลที่ ๙' (Reign IX) appears. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Bhumibol Adulyadej's accession — June 9, 1946 — this coin commemorates the longest reign of any monarch in Thai history at that point. Bhumibol had ascended under extraordinary circumstances: his brother, Ananda Mahidol, was found shot dead in the Grand Palace just weeks before, a death officially ruled accidental but never fully explained.
The Golden Jubilee celebrations of 1996 drew heads of state from across the world to Bangkok.
