| Additional information |
Issued to mark Queen Sirikit's 50th birthday in August 1982, this coin was struck during a period when the Thai government was producing commemorative gold with unusual frequency — partly as a revenue mechanism and partly to satisfy strong domestic demand for royally-sanctioned bullion. Queen Sirikit had by this point become the more publicly active of the two monarchs, frequently representing the Crown abroad while Rama IX focused on rural development projects.
Fr#42 in Friedberg's gold census places it firmly in the modern commemorative category, with collector premiums historically tracking royal sentiment rather than metal value.
