| A total of three million commemorative
pins marking the 60th anniversary of His Majesty
the King's ascension to the throne will be publicly
sold at Bt100 apiece in a government-commissioned
exhibition to honour the monarch from Friday May
26 to June 4.
The pin's front carries the award-winning emblem
marking the 60th anniversary and its base carries
a banner with an engraved date 'June 9, 2006',
when the longest-serving monarch ascended to the
throne as the ninth king of the Chakri Dynasty
exactly 60 years ago.
The pins will also be available at the library
of the Secretariat of the Cabinet Office inside
the Government House compound. Cost-deducted proceeds
obtained through the sale of the pins will be
presented to the Anantha Mahidol and Sri Nagarindra
Foundations.
