| Additional information |
In 2001, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) reached the age of 73 — the same age at which Rama I, founder of the Chakri dynasty, died in 1809. The symbolic weight of a reigning monarch outliving the dynasty's founder carried considerable cultural significance in Thailand, and the Royal Thai Mint issued this coin to mark the occasion. Bhumibol would go on to become the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history before his death in 2016.
