THAILAND - 1998 10 baht Y#348

This coin is to commemorate the
13th Asian Games
held in Bangkok BE2541 (1998)

This coin was actually in circulation and my first ever Thai coins were one of these. I first visited Thailand back in 1997. All Thai coins bear the image of Rama IX. The regular coins have temples or palace images on the reverse side. The Thai King is highly revered by the local so even stepping on a coin is offensive and could get you into trouble or could land you in jail. There is no tolerance on tourists or visitors unawareness of this Law.

THAILAND 1996 - 10 baht

Commemorative 10 baht

1996/2539, Y#334
Rama IX King Bhumibol Adulyadej
King Rama IX 50th Reign and F.A.O. World Summit
Diameter: 2.54cm/1in, Brass center in Copper and Nickel Ring

The standard 10-Baht coin is a silver ring with a brass center. The size very similar to 2euros. The coin replace a 10 baht note in the early 1990's but sometime you still run across this bill from time to time. I got mine in 1997 when I first visited Bangkok. Thailand issues several commemorative 10 baht each year, the most so far is in 2004, when they minted at least 7 commemorative coins. The Most of these you don't see in circulation but available in local coin dealer shops, at the international airport and souvenir shops around the country especially in Bangkok. Although, the Kanchanapisek (Golden Jubilee) Version, minted the same year as the above coin which commemorates the kings 50th anniversary of his reign is very common in circulation. To date there are at least 40 coins of 10 baht which commemorates an event.
