Thailand's Wildlife Conservation series emerged from the country's commitments under CITES, ratified in 1983, as pressure mounted on Southeast Asian governments to demonstrate concrete conservation policy. The piedfort format — double the normal flan thickness — was almost certainly a deliberate choice to distinguish this from the standard circulation and collector strikes already in the series, limiting its audience to specialist collectors rather than the broader commemorative market.
KM#P5 is one of the quieter Thai piedfort entries in terms of recorded auction appearances, which complicates any firm assessment of surviving population.
