10 Baht - Rama IX King Mother

Issued to mark the 84th birthday of Princess Srinagarindra — mother of King Bhumibol Adulyadej — this commemorative was struck under the Thai Buddhist calendar year 2523. The "King Mother" title reflects a specifically Thai honorific distinct from the Western concept of queen mother; she never held a reigning consort position, having been widowed before her son's accession.
