This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) in military uniform. The design is framed by an ornate oval, with the denomination '1 Satang' inscribed below. This issue was part of a long-running series honoring the monarch, printed by Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig, Germany.
