This note was issued to mark the sixtieth birthday of Queen Sirikit on 12 August 1992 — a date that fell in the same year as the Black May political crisis, when pro-democracy protests in Bangkok were suppressed by the military with considerable violence. The commemorative issue proceeded regardless, part of a broader royal celebration that carried significant symbolic weight for the monarchy at a moment of acute political instability.
Printed domestically at the Thai Banknote Printing Works rather than contracted abroad, as earlier high-denomination commemoratives sometimes were. Pick 96 is distinct from the regular 1000 Baht issues of the period and was not intended for general circulation, though many did enter it.
