| Additional information |
Thailand's postwar coinage underwent a significant overhaul in the late 1940s and early 1950s as the country stabilized following the Japanese occupation and the political turbulence surrounding the 1947 military coup that ousted civilian government. This issue belongs to the early coinage of Bhumibol Adulyadej, who formally ascended the throne in 1950 — the same year as this striking — following his elder brother Ananda Mahidol's controversial death by gunshot in 1946, a case that remains officially unsolved.
