| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of the Office of the Attorney General, established in Thailand in 1893 during the reign of Rama V as part of a sweeping modernization of the kingdom's legal infrastructure under pressure from Western colonial powers seeking extraterritorial jurisdiction over their nationals. The reforms were a direct response to treaty obligations, and the attorney general's office emerged specifically to create a credible indigenous legal system that might eventually render those extraterritorial claims obsolete.
