| Obverse description | Conjoined facing effigies of King Rama I (Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke) and King Rama X (Vajiralongkorn), both portrayed in three-quarter front-facing view with their heads slightly inclined toward the center of the field. Above the busts, a nine-tiered royal umbrella is depicted, symbolizing supreme sovereignty. The Chakri dynasty emblem appears below the umbrella, serving as a heraldic centerpiece between the two royal portraits. The overall composition reflects a formal commemorative style befitting Thai royal ceremonial coinage. |

| Additional information |
Rama I, founder of the Chakri dynasty, died in 1809 at approximately 73 years of age — the precise figure long debated by Thai historians due to inconsistencies in early Bangkok-era records. King Vajiralongkorn, Rama X, reached that same age in 2025, prompting this commemorative issue under a dynastic milestone tradition the Royal Thai Mint has observed selectively since the mid-twentieth century. The equivalence of reigning longevity between a dynasty's founder and its current monarch carries particular ceremonial weight in Thai royal culture.
