The BOT has produced two designs of commemorative banknotes in a denomination of
100 baht, with 10 million notes issued for each design. These commemorative banknotes
will be available for exchange at their face value from 21 December 2026 onwards,
at any commercial banks, the Government Savings Bank, the Bank for Agriculture and
Agricultural Cooperatives, the Government Housing Bank, and the Islamic Bank of 
Thailand.

Regarding the designs, the front side of the commemorative banknotes is identical
to the current 17th Series 100-baht polymer banknote currently in circulation. The
reverse side features images depicting royal duties and initiatives undertaken for
the well-being of the Thai people and the nation, reflecting memorable moments that
remain cherished by the Thai public. The two commemorative banknotes also feature
special fluorescent elements that glow under ultraviolet light in colors and patterns
distinct from those of circulating banknotes.
