Briefe der Nationen: Thailand

The other type of coin covers I collect has a strip of flags in the reverse side of the envelope, and they are apparently issued by Geophila.  So far, I have encountered three different varieties with differing stamps on the front of the envelope and differing designs on the reverse:
  1. The first one has, on the front of the envelope, a 2-baht stamp featuring the Thailand Cultural Centre, and it contains a 1990 1-baht coin commemorating the Queen Mother's Birthday (y232); the reverse of the envelope has no country description and no additional stamp.
  1. The second one has, on the front of the envelope, a 1.25-baht stamp commemorating the 1983 International Stamp Exhibition in Bangkok, and it contains a 1983 1-baht coin (y159.1); the reverse of the envelope has a description of the country and a printed flag of Thailand in lieu of another stamp.
 
  1. The third one has, on the front of the envelope, a 1.25-baht stamp depicting "Buddha Image - Chiang Saen Style", and it contains a 1983 1-baht coin (y159.1); the reverse of the envelope has a description of the country and a 20-cent United Nations stamp depicting Thailand's flag.
