The emblem itself
consists of
ten-layered
chattra, i.e. the multi-layered
royal umbrella, with in front of it
a

crown, that represents the Great
Crown of Victory, with

representing the Crown Title of Rama X, as well as the King's initials M.V.K. (Á.Ç.¡.),
referring to his name and his royal status as a member of the House of

Crossed behind the dark blue shield with the King's initial's are

and the Royal Sceptre (fig.),
one with the Golden Fan, the other with the Yak's Tail
(fig.),
all objects that are part of the
kakuthaphan
(fig.),
i.e. the Thai regalia.
At the bottom is a green banner with the golden text Phra Ratcha Phithi
Borommarachaphisek Phutthasakkarat òõöò (¾ÃÐÃÒª¾Ô¸ÕºÃÁÃÒªÒÀÔàÉ¡ ¾Ø·¸ÈÑ¡ÃÒª

Royal Coronation Ceremony,
Buddhist Era 2562 (2019 AD)’.
Furthermore,
the emblem
is embellished with
kranok,
a characteristic Thai design resembling tongues of fire
