| Reverse description | Central field features the royal cipher of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) — a crowned monogram rendered in ornate traditional Thai artistic style — set against a crosshatched or engine-turned background and flanked by elaborate floral and scrollwork designs in bas-relief. A circular Thai-script legend surrounds the central device, reading along the upper arc with the commemorative inscription noting the 150th anniversary of the King's birth on 20 September, and along the lower arc the denomination '๖๐๐ บาท' (600 Baht) and 'ประเทศไทย' (Thailand). The overall design reflects classical Thai decorative artistry. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of a specific royal act: in 1903, King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) made his second grand tour of Europe, the first reigning Siamese monarch to travel abroad twice. The journey was partly diplomatic calculation — Siam was navigating aggressive French and British colonial pressure on its borders, and a personal royal presence in European courts carried weight that no ambassador could replicate. Rama IX's government regularly commissioned commemorative silver issues anchoring his reign to Chulalongkorn's modernizing legacy, a dynastic continuity project that ran through dozens of issues across the 1990s and early 2000s.
