The design concept of this commemorative banknote emphasizes beauty and gentleness, and seeks to show Her Majesty as the royal consort of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, who has always stood beside Him, helping to share the royal burden of caring for the Kingdom and its people, as clearly seen in the many royal undertakings that have been inscribed on this commemorative banknote.
Special features: the watermark is the royal cipher "ส.ก." under the Great Crown, and a blue strip embedded in the paper contains the number "80", which changes into a "rose image" when the banknote is tilted back and forth, used for the first time on a Thai banknote.
