| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Siriraj Hospital, Thailand's oldest and largest medical institution, founded in 1888 by Rama V following the death of his son Prince Siriraj from dysentery at age one. The hospital was named in the prince's memory. By the time this coin was struck, Siriraj had grown into the country's principal teaching hospital and the institution where Rama IX himself would later spend his final years under medical care — a biographical detail no one could have anticipated in 1988.
