| Reverse description | The central aluminium bronze field features the official IUCN World Conservation Congress logo — a stylised elephant rendered in outline with a globe motif incorporated into its body — positioned in the upper portion of the centre. Below the logo appears the bold legend 'IUCN', flanked on the left by the Thai numeral '๑๐' over 'บาท' and on the right by the Arabic numeral '10' over 'BAHT', denoting the face value. Beneath these inscriptions, a multi-line English text reads 'The World Conservation Union / People and Nature only one world / World Conservation Congress / Bangkok 17–25 November 2004'. The copper-nickel outer ring bears a curved Thai-script legend at the lower arc reading the congress title and edition, with 'ประเทศไทย · THAILAND' and the Thai and Gregorian dates appearing along the ring. |

| Additional information |
The 2004 IUCN World Conservation Congress was held in Bangkok — the first time the congress convened in Asia — bringing together over 8,000 participants from 140 countries to address global biodiversity targets. Thailand's hosting of the event carried political weight for Rama IX, whose decades of royally-sponsored agricultural and environmental development projects had made the monarchy unusually central to conservation discourse in Southeast Asia.
The bimetallic format had been standard for Thai 10 Baht circulation coinage since 1988, making commemorative issues in this specification genuinely spendable rather than purely collectible.
