| Additional information |
The Rajamangala ceremony referenced here is the 1988 royal merit-making rite conducted as part of Bhumibol Adulyadej's preparations for surpassing Rama IV as Thailand's longest-reigning monarch — a threshold he crossed on July 2nd of that year after 42 years on the throne. These commemorative silver issues were struck in relatively controlled quantities for the ceremony itself, with distribution tied closely to official functions rather than general circulation channels.
