One of the biggest Bank notes ever!

One of the biggest Bank notes with denomination of 60 Baht was issued by Thailand on 5th December, 1987 to commemorate the 60th birth day of the KING BHUMIBOL ADULYADEJ known as RAMA IXth.

It is printed in pink and green and shows the King seated on a high throne with ceremonial robes and surrounded by the trappings of monarchy. On the reverse of the note the King with his wife and children are chatting to a huge crowd of Thai people. The Note measures 159mm X 159mm. This measurement was significant- that it was the first note of its kind (1), the King was entering the 5th cycle of his life (5) and the King is Rama IX (9).
