Issued to mark Queen Sirikit's 72nd birthday in 2004, this commemorative falls within a long-running Thai practice of honoring royal milestones with circulating-weight base metal issues rather than precious metal pieces — keeping the coins accessible while maintaining ceremonial intent. The 72nd birthday carries particular significance in Thai tradition, completing six full cycles of the twelve-year lunar calendar.
