Variations of the 10-Baht Coin & Notes

There are probably more variations of the 10-Baht coin in circulation than any other paper bill or coin. The 10-Baht piece is a favorite for commemorative editions. Shown below are the ones we've managed to collect over the last few years.

The Kanchanapisek coin was issued to commemorate the king's 50th anniversary on the throne. So many of these have been issued that they are almost as common as the regular coins.

The 10-Baht coin was first introduced more than 10 years ago, but a few year back, a senior Thai politician had the idea that the introduction of the coin 'devalued' the Baht and contributed to inflation. So, the 10-Baht note was re-introduced for a short time, until the politician fell from power.

You may still encounter some 10-Baht notes, especially outside of Bangkok.
