Thailand's Series 4 notes were introduced under Rama VIII — King Ananda Mahidol — who ascended the throne in 1935 at age nine and was still a minor studying in Switzerland when this note entered circulation. The Thomas De La Rue printing contract dated back to the earliest Thai government notes, and by this iteration the firm had refined its plate work considerably from the rougher impressions of the 1920s issues.
The 'Type II' designation within this series tracks a specific change to the Thai-script serial number placement — moved to the right field — distinguishing it from the earlier Type I configuration. A small change, but one that allows precise identification of print runs across what otherwise appears to be an identical note.
