| Comments |
The Series 3 Baht notes were issued under Prajadhipok (Rama VII) but circulated into a period of acute political instability — the constitutional revolution of June 1932 had already stripped the monarchy of absolute power, and Prajadhipok abdicated in March 1935 while in London seeking medical treatment. Notes dated into 1935 were therefore in circulation under a king who no longer reigned before the print run was even exhausted.
De La Rue's involvement with Siamese currency dated back to the late nineteenth century, and this series continued that relationship without interruption through the transition to constitutional government.
