| Reverse description | A full-bodied stag (Thai sambar deer) stands in three-quarter profile to the right, posed on a rocky outcrop with foliage at its feet, rendered in high sculptural relief against a mirrored field. The denomination in Thai numerals appears to the left along the inner border, while the commemorative legend referencing wildlife and nature conservation arcs along the lower field. The Buddhist Era date (พ.ศ. ๒๕๑๗) appears to the upper right. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

Issued as part of Thailand's push to align with international conservation efforts in the early 1970s, this piece was struck alongside the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species — CITES — which Thailand signed in 1973. The timing was deliberate: the issue gave the government a visible, tangible artifact to accompany the treaty commitment. Two variants exist under the Y#103a classification, distinguished by edge treatment, and the proof-quality strikes from this series are notoriously prone to spotting on the fields due to the high-relief design compressing moisture against the .925 surface during storage.
