The Thai number 50 (๕๐)
formed with various agricultural products, referring to the
Kasetsart
University's
status as an agricultural university. Inside the number zero is in brown the
circular emblem of the
Kasetsart
University, which

lotus
flower with in its centre a depiction of
Phra Phirun (fig.),
the Thai god of rain,
holding a
sword upright while standing on the back of a
naga
that sprouts water from
its mouth
and surrounded by
kanok
motifs, which is similar to
the logo
of the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives
(fig.).
Encircling the
lotus flower is the university's name in Thai (above),
while the date 2486
