History
The design concept is to publicize the royal duties of the monarchs of the Chakri Dynasty, who developed the country in various fields. It is the series in which all denominations were first issued together, and the width of the banknotes was made equal across all denominations for ease of carrying.
The obverse bears the portrait of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) in the uniform of the Supreme Commander.
The reverse bears an image of a monarch who is being honoured, as the principal image.
There are 5 denominations: 20 baht, 50 baht, 100 baht, 500 baht and 1,000 baht.
