| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the Royal Mounted Army, a ceremonial cavalry unit that has attended Thai royal processions for centuries but was formally reconstituted in its modern form under Rama IX as part of broader efforts to restore and codify royal ceremonial institutions. The unit had effectively lapsed during the mid-twentieth century political turbulence that repeatedly strained relations between the Thai military and the monarchy.
