Banknote Billet Thailand 100 baht 2002

This 100 baht banknote was issued by Thailand in 2002 on the occasion of the centenary of the Thai bank, commemorating one hundred years of the country's financial history, covering the period from 1902 to 2002. It is a commemorative banknote, which distinguishes it from regular issues intended for ordinary circulation.

The Bank of Thailand, founded at the beginning of the 20th century, is the central institution of the Thai monetary system. This banknote marks a major institutional event in the economic history of the kingdom, and its issuance is part of the tradition of commemorative banknotes produced on the occasion of major national or institutional celebrations in Thailand.

The face value of 100 baht represents a significant denomination in the Thai monetary system. The baht is the official currency of the Kingdom of Thailand, subdivided into satang. This denomination is one of the most widely used in daily transactions within the country.

The banknote features, as is customary for Thai issues of this period, graphic elements related to the monarchy and Thai national identity, with characteristics specific to commemorative banknotes, including distinctive motifs recalling the centenary being celebrated. Thai commemorative banknotes of this era are generally characterised by careful print quality and integrated security features.
