| Obverse description | Central field depicts a high-relief scene of Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn seated and tending to a group of young children gathered around her, rendered in a naturalistic sculptural style evoking humanitarian service. A raised border ring separates the central device from the outer legend. The circumferential legend in Thai script runs along the entire periphery of the coin, giving the full royal title of the Princess. A small decorative ornament appears at the bottom of the coin below the border ring. |

Struck to commemorate the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation, the Philippine-based organization that presents what is often called Asia's Nobel Prize. Thailand's participation in this commemorative was not incidental — several Thai recipients had won the award in the decades prior, and the issue marked the foundation's 1991 anniversary cycle. These commemorative 10 Baht pieces were produced in limited numbers for ceremonial distribution rather than general circulation, which accounts for the frequency of uncirculated survivors relative to the tiny mintage.
