2016 Thailand 70 Baht (70th Anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's Accession to the Throne) – Pick #128a – PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated
Issued on June 9, 2016, by the Bank of Thailand, this unique 70 Baht commemorative banknote marks the 70th anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's (Rama IX) accession to the throne (1946–2016). It stands as one of the final commemorative issues released during the revered monarch's record-setting 70-year reign before his passing later that year.
Unlike standard circulating Thai notes, this issue features a distinct vertical orientation on the reverse, a striking golden-yellow hue, and a custom 70-Baht non-standard denomination to honor the 70-year milestone. Certified by PMG as Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ (Exceptional Paper Quality), this note exhibits near-perfect centering, crisp original paper body, vibrant ink tones, and flawless preservation.
