| Reverse description | Central device within the aluminium bronze core depicts a stylised atomic symbol — a nucleus with elliptical electron orbits — encircled by a gear-like wheel bearing twelve spokes, evoking scientific and industrial progress. This emblem represents the National Research Council of Thailand. The copper-nickel outer ring carries a Thai-script legend along the upper arc reading 'สำนักงานคณะกรรมการวิจัยแห่งชาติ' (National Research Council), preceded by the anniversary numeral '๕๐' (50) at the upper left and followed by 'ปี' and the Thai date '๒๕๕๒' at the upper right. The lower arc bears the denomination '๑๐ บาท' (10 Baht) at centre, with '๑๙ กพ ๒๔๙๙' at left and 'ประเทศไทย ๒๕๕๒' at right. |

| Additional information |
The National Research Council of Thailand was established in 1956 under pressure to modernize the country's scientific infrastructure, with early funding and institutional frameworks borrowed heavily from American Cold War development programs pushing allied nations toward technical self-sufficiency. This commemorative marks the council's first half-century of operation, issued three years after that anniversary — a delay not unusual for Thai commemorative scheduling, which frequently decouples the striking date from the event being honored.
