100 Baht THB Banknote (Standard Issue) 2012

100 Baht Baht / Tical (Issued 2012)

The 100 Baht note issued in 2012 remains part of Thailand’s current banknote series and continues to hold legal tender status within the Kingdom of Thailand. As a general issue note produced under the authority of the Bank of Thailand, it circulates alongside other denominations in everyday transactions across the country. The series to which this note belongs has seen continued use throughout the 2010s and into the 2020s, representing a period of continuity in Thai monetary design. Visitors to Thailand and those returning to the United Kingdom with Thai currency will frequently encounter this note among their holdings.

On the front, the dominant feature is a formal portrait of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX, rendered in fine intaglio engraving and positioned to the right-hand side of the note. The portrait shows the King in military dress uniform, complete with epaulettes and decorations, and he is depicted wearing spectacles, giving the image a characteristically precise and distinguished appearance. The engraving captures fine detail in the uniform’s braid and the King’s composed expression, achieved through the raised-ink intaglio printing technique standard on Thai currency. The overall colour palette of the front is dominated by warm rose-pink and crimson tones, with the large numeral “100” printed prominently in orange-red in the upper right corner. Thai script text runs across the upper-left and central areas of the note, identifying the issuing authority as the Bank of Thailand and stating the denomination in Thai numerals and script. A row of stylised blue and silver optically variable security elements is visible along the left-hand vertical border, appearing as a column of small circular and oval devices that shift in appearance with the viewing angle. At the centre-left of the note, a decorative emblem featuring traditional Thai artistic motifs is printed in orange and gold tones, incorporating fine guilloché patterning in the surrounding background. Two facsimile signatures appear below the central text block, attributed to authorised signatories of the Bank of Thailand. A serial number, reading 9 P 2361106, is printed in dark ink to the right of centre. Thai numeral text appears along the very top of the note, and a small red holographic security mark is visible to the right of the portrait. The large denomination numerals “100” are also repeated in stylised form in the lower-left area of the note in a deeper red-orange tone, adding further visual weight to the design.

The reverse of the note is rendered in warm amber, orange, and golden tones throughout. A prominent central composition features a scene of royal ceremonial significance, depicting figures dressed in traditional Thai costume engaged in what appears to be a royal barge or ceremonial cart procession, with a tall, multi-tiered spire structure rising behind them — consistent with the imagery of a royal funerary urn or ceremonial pyre associated with Thai royal tradition. To the right of this scene stands a formal portrait of Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, depicted in elaborate golden royal ceremonial robes adorned with orders and decorations, rendered in fine intaglio engraving with careful attention to the ornate detail of the regalia. The denomination numeral “100” appears in Thai script numerals in the lower-central area of the reverse. In the upper-left corner, a decorative panel featuring traditional Thai motifs in red, blue, and gold is visible, incorporating what appears to be a stylised Garuda or royal emblem. A small circular emblem with red and blue colouring appears near the lower-left area, likely representing the Bank of Thailand seal. Fine guilloché background patterning in pale gold and cream tones covers the field of the reverse, with semi-circular radiating designs visible behind the main figural elements. Thai script text appears in several locations across the reverse, including what appears to be an inscription in the lower-left quadrant describing the depicted scene or royal occasion.
