Design
- Obverse
- A half-length royal portrait of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), facing left, wearing full-dress uniform. Along the rim is the King's royal name: "สมเด็จพระปรมินทรมหาจุฬาลงกรณ์ พระจุลจอมเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว" (Somdet Phra Paramindra Maha Chulalongkorn Phra Chulachomklao Chao Yu Hua).
- Reverse
- The national coat of arms. At the top is the radiant Great Crown of Victory (Phra Maha Phichai Mongkut) flanked by the discus (Phra Saeng Chakra) and the trident (Phra Saeng Tri). Below is an escutcheon divided into three fields: the upper field shows a three-headed elephant; the lower left field shows an elephant facing left; the lower right field shows crossed krises with decorative flourishes, flanked on either side by a tiered umbrella (chat). Along the left rim is the word "กรุงสยาม" (Kingdom of Siam) and along the right rim "รัชกาลที่ 5" (Reign of King Rama V). The lower rim carries the denomination (in fueang) and the Rattanakosin Era year of minting.
