Odd Banknotes - 08 Thailand

In 2016, King Bumibhol (Rama IX), celebrated 70th years on the throne of his country.
For this occasion, a special 70 baht note was issued. Shortly later, the beloved king died, being the longest reigning monarch of the world. (1946-2016).

On the front we see the image of King Rama IX at the end of his reign, a picture made after an official portrait of the king. Under the image, "70" written in thai numerals.
The note is issued in a protective case, on a cardboard document.

The reverse side of the note, shows the king at the beginning of his reign in 1946.
The note is yellow/orange, as yellow is the colour of the royals in Thailand.
In 2017 the note was redrawn as circulation note, but I guess few notes were actually in circulation.
It became a symbolic note as King Rama IX died in October 2016.
