History
The design concept is to publicize the royal duties and activities of the monarchs of the Chakri Dynasty, who developed the country in many fields.
It has the same characteristics and size as the Series 14 1,000-baht banknote then in circulation, and was issued at the same time. The general details are similar, but with a special addition: the watermark was changed to a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother.
- Its distinguishing feature is the main image on the reverse, a paired portrait of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, who has performed countless royal duties for the genuine benefit and happiness of the people.
- Below the watermark on the reverse of the banknote is printed the text "สมเด็จพระนางเจ้าสิริกิติ์ พระบรมราชินีนาถ เฉลิมพระชนมพรรษา 5 รอบ วันที่ 12 สิงหาคม พุทธศักราช 2535" (Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen, 5th cycle birthday anniversary, 12 August 1992 (B.E. 2535)). Several additional anti-counterfeiting features were also included, such as a hidden numeral concealed within a decorative band and special ink that fluoresces under ultraviolet light. These added features continue to be used in current banknote series.
- In addition, this issue brought the 1,000-baht denomination back into the currency system, after it had previously been issued between 1902 and 1905 (B.E. 2445-2448) and withdrawn in 1946 (B.E. 2489) in exchange for savings bonds.
