| Obverse description | The obverse of this talismanic yantra amulet reproduces the design of the Thai 100 Baht note from the Rama IX Series 9 in black intaglio-style printing, with a Yant Maha Lap sacred geometric figure superimposed over the central vignette. A pseudo serial number in both Latin and Thai script, reading D78 999999, is incorporated as a decorative talismanic element in place of a genuine control number. The overall layout closely follows the guilloche and border work of the original currency note, adapted for ritual and amulet use. |

Not a banknote. This is a yantra amulet printed in the format of the Thai 100 Baht note — a devotional object, not a circulating instrument. Thailand's Currency Act makes it a criminal offence to reproduce official banknote designs, and the "short penalty" designation in the item's own name is a direct reference to that legal exposure. Vendors have historically worked around the prohibition by altering dimensions or adding text, though enforcement has been inconsistent.
The attribution to Thomas De La Rue is almost certainly borrowed from the source note's credentials, not a claim that De La Rue printed this amulet.
