| Obverse description | Conjoined front-facing effigies of King Rama V (Chulalongkorn) and King Rama IX (Bhumibol Adulyadej), both in military uniform, occupying the central field. Flanking the portraits are their respective royal crowned monograms: the Chorporor (จปร) cypher of Rama V to the left and the Porporor (ภปร) cypher of Rama IX to the right. The dual portrait composition commemorates the dynastic continuity between the two monarchs and the founding of the Ministry of Defense. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the emblem of the Thai Ministry of Defense, depicting a mythical Singha (lion) in traditional Thai artistic style, rendered in high relief within a raised inner circle. The creature is shown in a rampant-like posture with decorative flame-like appendages, characteristic of classical Thai iconography. Surrounding the inner circle, a Thai-script legend reads the commemorative inscription marking the 108th anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of Defense, dated 8 April 2538 (BE), with the denomination 20 Baht and country name Thailand appearing in the lower portion of the outer legend. |
