| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th birthday of Queen Sirikit on August 12, 1982, this commemorative was released during a period when the Thai monarchy used coinage aggressively as a vehicle for royal milestone observances. Sirikit had by this point become one of the most publicly active consorts in Thai history, particularly through her SUPPORT Foundation, established in 1976 to preserve traditional Thai handicrafts.
