| Reverse description | Central emblem of the Royal Ceremony of the 72nd Birthday of Rama X, featuring the crowned royal cypher 'วปร' on an octagonal diamond surrounded by 72 smaller diamonds, surmounted by the Great Crown of Victory superimposed on the Royal Nine-Tiered Umbrella. Flanking the central device are seven-tiered Chatra parasols, supported by a Rajasiha (royal lion) facing right on the left and a Gajasiha (elephant-lion) facing left on the right. Two Nagas flank Thai numerals '๗๒' in the lower field, their bodies bound with a ribbon bearing the inscription of the royal ceremony. The entire composition is framed by Schoutenia glomerata blossoms, with surrounding inscriptions giving the denomination, country name, and the date of the auspicious occasion. |

Issued to mark the 72nd birthday of King Vajiralongkorn on July 28, 2024, this commemorative follows a well-established Thai royal tradition of releasing circulation-weight coinage tied to auspicious birthday milestones. In Thai numerological custom, the 72nd year carries particular significance as the completion of six twelve-year cycles in the Buddhist zodiac calendar.
