Surrounding legends arc across the upper field in both Thai and Latin scripts, reading 'งานปีต้นไม้แห่งชาติประเทศไทย พ.ศ. ๒๕๒๘-๒๕๓๑' and 'NATIONAL YEARS OF THE TREES 1985-1988 THAILAND'. The FAO logo with the motto 'FIAT PANIS' appears at lower left and the UNEP logo at lower right. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the International Year of the Trees, this commemorative was struck as Thailand was accelerating a national reforestation campaign under royal patronage — deforestation in the northern highlands had become acute enough by the mid-1980s that the Thai government had begun restricting commercial logging concessions. The coin's timing aligned with a broader UNEP initiative that year encouraging member states to issue public awareness material, coins among them.
Mintage figures for this type are not widely documented, though surviving examples in uncirculated condition are plentiful enough to suggest a generous commemorative run.
