| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Thailand's first public health infrastructure under Rama VI, who established the country's initial medical and sanitation frameworks in the years following 1918 — a period when influenza was killing tens of thousands across Southeast Asia. The commemorative program under which this coin falls has produced dozens of similar circulation-quality pieces since the 1990s, making individual issues largely undistinguishable in collector demand from one another.
Y#578 is a catalog placeholder for a series that the Royal Thai Mint has never fully rationalized in standard references.
