         More than 40 years ago, Thailand faced drug problems and slash-and-burn farming among the hill tribes in the North. This was also during the war on "communism" that spread throughout the ASEAN region.
       With the vast wisdom of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who wanted the hill tribes to be able to "stand on their own two feet" and stop immigration, to reduce these problems, His Majesty visited various hill tribes in many provinces many times. Every time, he introduced the cultivation of cold-weather vegetables to the hill tribes, thus ending the war on drug cultivation. And the practice of slash-and-burn farming in Thai cities has ended.
         Meanwhile, in 2006, the solution to the problem of the hill tribes being overlooked, a number of Thais who do not have a legal identity, has moved forward into the digital age. Therefore, the number of hill tribes facing various problems and those who are eligible for Thai citizenship has been collected and compiled in a database for management and further processing of Thai citizenship for those who are still stateless.
       At that time, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej created "Commemorative Coins for Hill Tribes" with a portrait of King Rama IX on the front and a map of Thailand on the back. Each coin was stamped with the abbreviation of the province and an identification number for each hill tribe person.
      His Majesty distributed these coins to hill tribe people in approximately 20 provinces, totaling more than 200,000 coins. Each coin had the initials of each province stamped on the back. Along with the coin numbers stamped as follows:
 1. Kamphaeng Phet (Feb.) 2. Prachuap (PK.) 3. Phetchaburi (Phet.) 4. Loei (Lo.) 5. Lamphun (Lop.) 6. Uthai Thani (On.) 7. Phetchabun (Phet.) 8. Phitsanulok (Phol.) 9. Ratchaburi (Rop.) 10. Lampang (Lop.) 11. Nan (Non.) 12. Tak (Tok.) 13. Chiang Rai (Chor.) 14. Mae Hong Son (Mae.) 15. Chiang Mai (Chiang Mai.) 16. Not stamped Sukhothai (Sat.) Very rare.
      The other 4 provinces with hill tribes but no coin information are 1. Kanchanaburi 2. Phrae 3. Suphan Buri 4. Phayao (included in Chiang Rai Province, at that time it was not separated into provinces).
        The commemorative coins for hill tribes are therefore considered as an identity card. For hill tribes, carrying them around indicated that they had registered Thai citizenship.
         Later, as the country advanced, a comprehensive census of the hill tribe population was conducted, allowing the various hill tribes to legally receive Thai citizenship. The need for "hill tribe commemorative coins" disappeared.
       However, today, "hill tribe commemorative coins" have become a collectible item for local and general amulet circles. In addition to being antiques, they are also a gift from His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, making them highly valuable in every respect.
