Issued to mark the 60th anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's accession to the throne — June 9, 1946, following the death of his brother Rama VIII under circumstances that were never publicly resolved. Bhumibol's reign became the longest of any Thai monarch and, at the time of his death in 2016, the longest of any living head of state globally. A commemorative 100 Baht at face value was a deliberate choice: accessible enough for wide public distribution, meaningful enough to retain.

The Bank of Thailand Note Printing Works has produced Thai commemorative issues in-house since the 1990s, reducing dependence on foreign security printers such as De La Rue and Thomas De La Rue that supplied earlier series.
