Banknote information His Majesty King Vajiravudh, Rama VI, ascended to the throne on 11 November 1910. In the beginning of his reign, there was still use of the 1st series banknotes that had been ordered printed since the previous reign, including those ordered additionally during his reign.
When the reign changed and the Series 1 banknotes were almost exhausted, the Ministry of Finance considered changing the design of the banknotes. Several printing companies were selected and finally, Thomas de la Rue of England was hired to print the banknotes. The
Series 2 banknotes were more special than the Series 1 banknotes in that they featured raised lines, making them harder to counterfeit. They also featured a pattern printed on the back of the banknotes. However, the Series 2 banknotes did not include a watermark.
King Rama VI considered the Royal Ploughing Ceremony an important royal ceremony that represented Thailand's trade and culture, so he chose it as the image on the back of the banknotes. The public often called the Series 2 banknotes the "Ploughing Notes."
There were two versions of the 20-baht Series 2 banknotes. The details of the banknotes changed: on the first version, the text read, "Promise to pay to the person who issues this banknote as Siamese currency." This was in accordance with the Siamese Banknote Act of 1903, which stipulated that banknotes could be issued as metallic currency. Later, a law was passed to allow 100% investment in reserves. Therefore, a temporary additional Currency Act was issued in 1918 to stop paying currency to those who brought them to cash. Even though during that time, the banknotes circulating in the system had the message "Promise to pay money to the person who brought this banknote to be cashed in Siamese currency", no law allowed the banknotes to be accepted as currency.
Until 1928, the Currency Act was promulgated, stipulating that the country's currency consisted of banknotes and coins. Therefore, banknotes were legal tender, not promissory notes as they used to be. In the second series of the second series of the second series of the banknotes, the message was changed to "Banknotes are legal tender." The
20-baht banknote, second series, was announced on February 19, 1928. Banknote size is 9.50 x 17.50 centimeters. Serial numbers and letters of the first and second series of the banknotes are N 1 - N 100. The front of the banknote has the word "Twenty Baht" superimposed on the fueng pattern. There are 12 radial stripes. Each stripe has a miniature text "Government of Siam" with Roman letters and Arabic numerals on the left. Thai characters and numerals on the right, with the date of the banknote under the banknote number category on both sides, and Thai characters and numerals above the signature. The reverse side of the banknote features the main image of the Royal Ploughing Ceremony in an oval frame with a fuchsia pattern. The Arabic numeral is on the right and the Thai numerals are on the left. Signatures on the banknotes, Series 2: Suphayok Komarakul , Phraya Sri , Minister of the Ministry of Finance, His Royal Highness Prince Suphayok Kasem (17 January 1922 - 26 October 1929) , Phraya Komarakulmontri (26 October 1929 - 9 April 1932) , Chao Phraya Sri Dharmadhibes (24 June 1933 - 21 September 1934)
