| Comments |
Thailand's Series 9 notes were issued under the Act of 1939, which replaced the older Commercial Banking Act framework and gave the government direct authority over note issuance — a shift accelerated by wartime occupation and the financial disruptions that followed. This particular type, with red serials, precedes the later blue-serial variant and is the scarcer of the two in circulated grades.
De La Rue resumed supplying Thai notes after the interruption of the Japanese occupation period, when locally-produced emergency issues had filled the gap. The return to London printing signaled a deliberate reassertion of prewar monetary conventions.
