| Additional information |
Thailand struck two distinct versions of this Rama IX baht concurrently for much of its production run — a copper-nickel non-magnetic type and a later nickel-clad steel magnetic variant introduced to reduce production costs. The two are visually identical, distinguished only by a magnet. Circulation mixing was inevitable, and both remain common in change across Thailand today.
