Treasury Department Announces Auction for Rare 1990 10-Baht Coin
Thailand's Treasury Department is hosting an electronic auction for the highly sought-after 1990 10-baht circulation coin.
According to a report from Khaosod Online Thailand, the Treasury Department has launched the first electronic auction of 2026 via the 'Treasury Coin Market' platform. The highlight of this event is the 1990 10-baht circulation coin, which is widely recognized by collectors as a rare and valuable piece of Thai currency.
For residents and visitors interested in numismatics, this auction represents a unique opportunity to acquire a significant piece of Thai monetary history. The department has outlined a specific timeline for participation: prospective bidders must register as members on the Treasury Coin Market website starting from August 14, 2026, at 8:30 AM, with registration closing on August 23, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Participants are also required to submit a security deposit during this window.
The actual bidding process is scheduled to commence on August 24, 2026. While the rarity of the 1990 coin is well-documented among collectors, those interested in participating should monitor the official Treasury Coin Market portal for specific details regarding the starting bid prices and the final terms of the auction. As this is an electronic-only event, all transactions and registrations must be completed through the official government system to be considered valid.
