100 Baht THB Banknote (Standard Issue) 2020

100 Baht Baht / Tical (Issued 2020)

The 2020 issue of the Thai 100 Baht banknote was released to mark a significant chapter in the Kingdom of Thailand’s modern royal history, coinciding with the reign of King Vajiralongkorn, who ascended to the throne following the passing of his father King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 2016. The note’s issue reflects the Bank of Thailand’s programme of updating its general circulation series to bear the portrait of the new monarch, representing a generational transition in the nation’s currency design. This standard issue denomination plays a central role in everyday commerce across Thailand and remains fully current legal tender. The note is widely encountered by travellers and businesses exchanging Thai Baht in the United Kingdom.

On the front, the dominant feature is a formal portrait of King Vajiralongkorn — Rama X of Thailand — rendered in a detailed intaglio engraving style, positioned to the right of centre. The King is depicted in military dress uniform, adorned with decorations and insignia, with a composed and dignified expression facing slightly to the left. The portrait is set against a warm golden-yellow and peach background, with a finely detailed guilloché pattern filling the surrounding field. Immediately to the left of the portrait, a central vignette displays an elaborate royal emblem framed within an ornate design, printed in gold and green tones. Above this vignette, Thai script text identifies the Bank of Thailand, with further Thai script text below indicating the denomination as one hundred Baht. Beneath these inscriptions, the large denomination numerals “100” appear in a stylised font at the lower left in deep red and brown tones, while a secondary numeral “100” appears in the lower right corner. To the right of the main portrait, a chrysanthemum-style rosette security element is printed in golden ink. A vertical security thread is embedded within the paper and is visible as a darker stripe running through the note. Two authorising signatures in blue ink appear beneath the central vignette, accompanied by Thai script identifying the signatories’ titles. A serial number reading 9K9892381 is printed vertically along the right margin in dark ink, while a second serial number in Thai numerals appears horizontally along the top of the note. The upper left corner carries a small decorative emblem featuring a winged figure in multicolour printing. The overall colour palette of the front combines warm amber, pale gold, cream, and soft peach tones with selective use of deep burgundy for the large denomination numerals.

The reverse presents a richly detailed historical and ceremonial composition rendered in warm coral, peach, gold, and muted violet tones. The central scene depicts King Vajiralongkorn seated atop a decorated ceremonial palanquin or royal howdah, dressed in elaborate golden royal regalia and wearing a distinctive wide-brimmed hat, holding a ceremonial object. This image commemorates his royal coronation procession. The scene is surrounded by densely packed crowds of attendants and onlookers, with a grand multi-tiered Thai palace building — identifiable as a structure within the Grand Palace complex in Bangkok — visible in the background to the right. To the left of the central coronation scene, a secondary vignette shows King Vajiralongkorn standing on a raised ceremonial platform or dais, also dressed in formal royal attire, with a figure attending below. Flanking the left edge, the Thai national emblem — the Garuda — is printed at the upper left, while a royal cipher emblem appears at the upper right. Intricate floral and scroll guilloché patterns frame the composition throughout. The large stylised denomination numerals “100” appear in outline form at the lower left of the reverse, and the numeral “100” is repeated at the lower right in a solid format. Thai script text appears in a block to the right of centre, describing the occasion commemorated. The overall design conveys a deeply ceremonial character, drawing on Thailand’s heritage of royal pageantry and classical artistic tradition.
