History
For the first time, the royal portrait of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great (Rama IX) appears as the principal image on the obverse of a banknote, paired with the portrait of Her Majesty the Queen Mother. The golden-yellow foil patch and the watermark also feature the portraits of both Their Majesties. The denomination of 500,000 baht is the highest denomination of any Thai banknote ever printed.
