| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the centennial of the Thai Ministry of Finance, founded in 1893 under Rama V as part of a sweeping administrative modernization that restructured Siam's financial bureaucracy along Western lines. The ministry's first century saw it navigate wartime occupation, postwar reconstruction, and the baht crises that would culminate — just four years after this coin's issue — in the 1997 collapse that triggered the broader Asian financial crisis.
