| Additional information |
Prince Mahidol Adulyadej, for whom this issue was struck, is remembered as the father of modern Thai medicine — he funded his own studies at Harvard in the 1920s and returned to Siam to reform public health infrastructure at his own expense, dying before he could see the full effect of his work. He is also the biological father of Rama IX, Bhumibol Adulyadej, which gives this commemorative an unusual dynastic layering: a son honoring a father who never reigned.
