Portrait of King Maha Vajiralongkorn in Royal Vestments (fig.), wearing the Crown of Victory (fig.) and seated on the Putthan Kanchanasinghat (พุดตานกาญจนสิงหาสน์) Throne (fig.), during the Royal Coronation Ceremony on 4 May 2019, when he ascended the throne as King Rama X. The number ten of his crown title is embossed in Thai (๑๐) and in gold at the bottom centre of the floral frame. In the top right corner of the stamp is the King's Royal Signature, i.e. a chadah-style crown with the initials V. P. R. (ว.ป.ร.), which stands for Vajiralongkorn Prom Rajatiraat (วชิราลงกรณ ปรมราชาธิราช), i.e. Vajiralongkorn, Greatest King of Kings. It is printed against a yellow background (fig.), which refers to the colour of the King's day of birth according to the sih prajam wan-system and which corresponds to a Monday.
