This is a specimen note with a catalogue reference no of P112as. Whilst this is a note printed with the word specimen (ตัวอย่าง / Tawxyang- pronunciation sounds like do-young ) on the front, the note is also printed with a commemorative texts on the lower margin of the note, celebrating the inauguration of the Thai Note Printing Works - "To Commemorate the Opening of the Banknote Management Department Bank of Thailand, 1st November 2543 (2004)". Even though this is a specimen note, this is the only way to get this commemorative note as normal circulating notes issued do not come with these texts. Here I have also posted the normal notes as comparison with the same signature variety. As usual, the note depicts the current Thai King Rama IX Bhumibol Adulyadej (b 5.12.2027) on the front and on the back showing a sitting King Rama VI Vajiravudh (b 1.1.1880-25.11.1925) who was the half brother of the current King's late father, Mahidol Adulyadej. Each specimen note is printed with a control number on the back of the note. The folder that comes with the note provides no additional information about the note or the texts printed on the note, unless you can read Siamese writing. It is quite unusual to have a commemorative note issued in this manner with no actual face value. However many central banks nowadays issue commemorative notes with high premiums to ensure such notes will not enter into general circulation.
