| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the centennial of Thailand's Naval Cadet Academy, founded in 1906 under the reign of Rama V as part of a broader modernization of the Royal Siamese Navy. The academy was modeled substantially on European naval institutions, reflecting the aggressive modernization program Chulalongkorn had pursued to maintain Thai sovereignty against colonial encroachment.
