| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) wearing eyeglasses and a suit, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The royal name in Thai script curves along the left periphery, reading 'ภูมิพลอดุลยเดช', while 'ประเทศไทย' (Thailand) arcs along the right. At the lower field, the denomination '๒๐๐ บาท' is inscribed in Thai numerals and script, flanking the truncation of the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of a broader WWF commemorative series that Thailand produced through the late 1990s, this piece was struck at a point when the Indochinese tiger population had already collapsed to an estimated few hundred animals across all of Southeast Asia. Thailand's wild tiger numbers were devastated largely by poaching for the traditional medicine trade — a market centered, with some irony, within the very region minting the coin.
